Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 small pumpkin
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp thyme

Instructions

  • Wash the pumpkin in cold water and dry it with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
  • Use a sharp, heavy knife to cut the pumpkin in half. Use a large spoon to remove the seeds and guts from the inside of the pumpkin. Discard.
  • Slice the pumpkin into thin wedges. Then use the heavy knife to carefully cut the rind from the pumpkin. Cut the pumpkin into bite-sized cubes.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cubed pumpkin with the oil and seasonings.
  • Add the pumpkin to the basket of the air fryer. Shake it around so it's in an even layer.
  • Cook the pumpkin at 375 degrees for 18 - 20 minutes. Shake or stir the pumpkin halfway through cooking time.
  • The pumpkin is ready when it is tender (check it with a toothpick) and golden brown.
