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

Have you tried baking cubed pumpkin in the Air fryer then using it cold in "Pumpkin Beetroot Salad" or "Pumpkin, Potato and Rocket Salad". I use baked pumpkin a lot in salads over the summer season.

Refrigerate until required time for serving.

What time did you say dinner is for?
Seems you like your veggies too just like I do. My father HAD 180 acres growing market produce when I was growing up, so mum never knew what it was like to buy any produce. Even fruit because in the market the growers would swap any leftover produce of the day, so we always had an abundance. Mum has long gone, but I think that's where I got my love of cooking from.

Me Too - thankyou Suzanne!

I usually do a medley of root vegetables in my air fryer. However, I love pumpkin. With leftovers, I will be having it cold with a salad with this hot weather.

I like left over roast pumpkin on toast for breakfast.

What an amazing productive garden you have…..

Have you tried baking them in your Air Fryer, if so what temp and time please?

I haven't tried them in the airfryer only oven

I remember for lunch the next day my grandmother would mix together the leftover vegies and meat from the night before , usually roast dinners. She would then reheat in a frypan and would call it bubbles

Hubby uses every inch of our yard to grow things . Atm we have an abundance of mixed lettuce,tomatoes and cucumbers. Plus spinach and zucchini
We also have a huge herb garden at both sides of our house.

Hubby was a landscape gardener and also gets a lot of ideas from YouTube and gardening shows. Vasilis gardening show is his favourite .

Our flowers are in the front yard although he grows marigolds throughout the vegie garden.
Our mangoes are nearly ready to pick as are the figs
