A favorite snack updated with a bit of seasonal flavor, these pumpkin fries are a tasty twist on ordinary fries. We love recipes that add in pumpkin where we least expect it; we'd heard of sweet potato fries, but pumpkin fries? Somehow it had never occurred to us to give this try!
It doesn't get much more simple than this recipe-- we're talking just a handful of ingredients and prep time around 15 minutes. Top these babies with crumbled blue cheese, maple balsamic, or whatever else you fancy. If you're a purist, they're plain delicious all by themselves. However you enjoy them, we promise you this: you'll be hooked!
Roasted Pumpkin Fries
(serves 4)
Ingredients:
1 pumpkin
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Optional: crumbled blue cheese, maple balsamic, or other topping of your choice
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Slice pumpkin in half, then remove seeds. Peel off pumpkin skin using a potato peeler.
3. Cut pumpkin into 1/4-1/2 inch strips.
4. Mix together olive oil and seasonings in a bowl. Dip pumpkin strips in the bowl so they're coated in the mixture.
5. Place fries on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Roast fries for 15 minutes or until tender. Raise temperature to 400 F and broil the fries for another 3 minutes until they're nice and crispy.
