It adds a little flavor, but mainly protects the seeds from sticking and burning when they are in contact with a hot pan.

How do you make roasted pumpkin seeds?

Roasted pumpkin seeds are made by scrapping and scooping out the pumpkin insides and separating the seeds in warm water. After they are rinsed off from all the pumpkin pulp, they can be boiled in salty water if salting is desired. Once mostly dried, they can be toasted (fried in a pan with a little butter til they darken) or roasted in an oven at 200 degrees or higher, laid flat in a pan with seasoning and a light coating of oil to prevent burning.

Can pumpkin seeds be roasted with pumpkin pie?

Normally, a pumpkin pie would be cooked at about 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-60 minutes, depending on your recipe. Pumpkin seeds would be tossed with some oil and salt and then roasted on a cookie sheet at a higher temperature, maybe 400 degrees, for 10 to 15 minutes until just browned. You certainly CAN put the pumpkin seeds in at the same time as the pie, but it will probably slow down the cooking of the pie and the seeds both, and the seeds might not brown as nicely (they might also get soggy). But there's no harm in trying.
