Description

A healthy, easy fall side dish — sweet roasted pumpkin with crispy, caramelized edges, made entirely in the air fryer.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups sugar pumpkin, diced
  • Olive oil cooking spray, or 1 tsp high-heat oil
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the diced pumpkin to a large bowl, spritz with olive oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated.
  • Transfer to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes.
  • Open the basket, shake, and cook for another 10 minutes, until golden and lightly crisp. Serve warm.

Equipment

Notes

  • For sweet roasted pumpkin, skip the paprika and drizzle with maple syrup after cooking.
  • Cook in batches if needed — a single layer is key to crisp edges.
