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

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.

Yeah I always share. Usually sue buys me a butternut pumpkin but this time she bought me a that looks like this. It’s so heavy I can hardly lift it if I drop it I reckon it’d break my foot.

The price of pumpkin is exorbitant considering it grows like a weed... off the menu

It's just 500 grams. Depending of what type of pumpkin it is, it's only a few $.

Still too much...especially the ones that have been cut.. The same applies to cabbage. Both have been stuck off the menu.

Suzanne have you tried garlic and olive oil ? lt's a bit more expensive but worth it.

 

[NoNoNoNoNoNo]
