Pumpkin fries and crisps
BAKE all your pumpkin into healthy pumpkin fries!
Ingredients
- 2 small pumpkins (small squashes will do to)
Pumpkin Crisps
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of salt
Pumpkin fries seasoning
- ¼ tsp of cayenne pepper
- 2 tsps of turmeric
- 2 tsps of garlic powder
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Remove the stem cutting an imaginary perimeter around it, piercing the top of the pumpkin with a sharp knife. Once you make a full circle, it will be easy to pull the stem out.
- For the crisps, peel the pumpkin using a potato peeler. When you finish, put the pumpkin shaves aside.
- Cut the pumpkins in halves so that it's easier to remove the seeds from them. Then, carve the inside of each pumpkin with a spoon. You can save the pumpkin seeds bake them with savory seasonings. They make for a yummy snack.
- Use your best knife to cut the pumpkin into wedges, cutting first into large chunks.
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F while you season the crisps and the fries.
- Place crisps and fries in separate bowls. Pour olive oil on them and add your favorite seasonings. I used garlic powder and salt for the crisps. For the fries, I used garlic powder, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Finally, add salt and pepper to taste and mix well in each bowl with your hands.
- Lay the fries and the crisps on separate baking sheets, lined with parchment paper.
- Put the fries and the crisps in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
- In the meantime, you can make some of your favorite dips. I made a sweet one with Maple syrup and yogurt, and a savory one with onion powder and sour cream.
- Serve and snack as you like!
