Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Rinse the pumpkin seeds in a colander under cold running water to remove any pulp and strings. Drain well.
Spread the seeds on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat dry thoroughly.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, sea salt, olive oil, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until the seeds are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting, until the seeds are golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The seeds will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the roasted pumpkin seeds to an airtight container once cooled and store at room temperature for up to a week.
