Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 medium pie pumpkin about 4 pounds
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F according to manufacturer instructions.
- Wash and dry the pumpkin. Cut the pumpkin in half. Cut out the tops and scoop out the seeds.
- Cut each half into 1-inch slices and carefully peel off the skins.
- In a large bowl combine the pumpkin, oil, and spices.
- Massage the pumpkin to ensure they are coated entirely. However, you can add more seasonings once the fries are cooked, especially salt.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, in batches, arrange the fries in the basket in one single layer and air fry for 15 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through.
- The fries should be crispy and cooked through. If by this time the fries are not crispy, fry for a few extra minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper right after cooking. Enjoy with dipping sauces of your choice.
