Directions

Peel and cut your pumpkin into thin, even fries. Aim for a consistent thickness so they cook evenly and crisp up nicely and make sure to pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, toss the pumpkin fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper. Mix well until each fry is evenly coated in the vibrant spice blend.
Place the seasoned pumpkin fries in a single layer in your Crumble Air Fryer. Make sure there’s space between each fry and avoid overcrowding or they will steam up instead of crisp up.
Air fry at 200°C for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them in the final minutes - they should be golden and tender with lightly crisp edges.
Serve immediately while hot and crisp. These pair perfectly with garlic yoghurt, tahini sauce, or even a zesty mayo. Sprinkle with a little extra sea salt or chilli flakes if you like a little extra kick.
