Pumpkin in An Airfryer

I've been using an airfryer since lockdown and just purchased a new Ninja brand one.

Not only is it easy and quick it's also a healthy way of cooking.

Ingredients​

Serves:  1
  • 500gms Pumpkin
  • 1/2 tspn Olive Oil

Method​

  1. Peel and cut pumpkin into wedges or chunks, approximately 1/2 inch thick. I used Kent pumpkin for this recipe.
  2. Place pumpkin wedges into a bowl. Add 1/2 tspn of olive oil or Spritz lightly with olive oil spray. DO NOT use aerosol sprays as these can harm the interior of your fryer
  3. Place pumpkin into basket in single layers, with no overlap. These don't require turning. If using more slices, you will be required to turn and shake basket to ensure even cooking and of course increase cooking time
  4. Roast pumpkin at 180 degrees for 20 - 25 mins. Cooking time will be dependant on the thickness of your wedges and the strength of your air fryer. Good idea to check after 15 mins and continue cooking as needed. Wedges should be tender and golden.

Dont be fooled by the simplicity of these wedges. They are truly sensational. Any variety of pumpkin can be used although butternut doesn't hold up as well in my experience

My grandfather and ALL his 15 siblings were horticulturist or florist, so I guess that's where I come from in not being able to not plant even the smallest of plants that may have however broken off.
As for the Meyer lemon 2 of my Great uncles (citrus orchardists) always said it is the only lemon because with little to no pith and extremely juicy. I have a standard Meyer planted in the ground plus a dwarf Meyer and a dwarf Tahitian lime in big pots, but sadly I've got to leave them all here when we move as hubby has said he's not even going to try to lift the pots. :cry:
So, after we're allowed to see how much yard we'll have I'll be going out to Bunnings to get at least another dwarf Meyer as it's my FAVOURITE fruit for sweet and savoury dishes and a dwarf Tahitian if size of yard permits.
Also, I can see quite a lot of your plants that I have also stuck into pots as pots are what my garden consists of in the backyard and roses planted in the front yard with one section of strawberries at the base of roses planted as ground cover, but we do get a very good season every year of strawberries.
