Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 medium pumpkin (about 10 pounds, for about 1 cup pumpkin seeds)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 360 degrees F.
  • Cut a 10-inch circle in the top of the pumpkin and remove the top. Scrape out the pulp and seeds with a large spoon and transfer to a bowl. Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp, then rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water. Shake the seeds dry; it's okay if they're damp so don't blot them with paper towels (they will stick to the paper).
  • Toss together the pumpkin seeds, olive oil and salt in a clean bowl. Transfer to the air fryer basked in a single layer and cook, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until lightly golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Cool before serving.

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 Medium Sugar Pumpkin or Pie Pumpkin. Regular pumpkin will do as well.
2 tablespoons Avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder/onion powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoning of choice. I used Trader Joe's BBQ Rub and seasoning with coffee and garlic.
1/2 teaspoon Salt-free veggie blend.
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, cut the pumpkin in half. Scoop out the seeds and pulp. Cut pumpkin into French fry slices. I use this 7" Ultra-sharp Chef knife. In a separate bowl mix oil with seasoning Rub the seasoning blend onto pumpkin fires. I suggest using a container or zip-lock bag to shake the raw pumpkin slices with oil and seasoning blend. Next, place the slices in the fryer basket Spread them out on the cooking sheet so they don't overlap. Air fry in a preheated air fryer oven at 390 F/ 190C for 12 minutes or until beautifully golden browned with a caramelized look. Flip halfway (6 minutes per side) Bon Appétit!

AIR FRYER FRENCH FRIES



Air Fryer French Fries image

Since I missed the whole Instant Pot® train, I had to make at least one air fryer recipe while they're still hot. And it doesn't get more classic than French fries; the generally accepted technique is pretty, dare I say, airtight, at this point, but I do have one extra trick in store! Finally, dip them in honey mustard, spicy ketchup, garlic aioli, or all 3 mixed together, like I did.
