Air Fryer Roasted Pumpkin with Cinnamon and Brown Sugar
Quick roasted pumpkin in air fryer, caramelized with brown sugar and cinnamon. A sweet and healthy snack, perfect for autumn.
🥘 Ingredients
pumpkin (pie pumpkin, sugar pumpkin) — 1-1.5 pieces
brown sugar — to taste
ground cinnamon — to taste
👨🍳 Steps
1Wash the pumpkin. Cut it in half crosswise, then remove seeds and fibers with a spoon. Cut each half into 2-4 slices. Do not peel.
2Preheat air fryer to 205°C (400°F). Place pumpkin slices in the basket, leaving space for air circulation. Optionally, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on the skin side down.
3Roast in air fryer at 205°C (400°F) for 15 minutes.
4Turn slices and continue roasting for another 12-15 minutes at the same temperature – for lighter caramelization, reduce to 5 minutes.
5Check doneness: pumpkin is done when fork-tender and caramelized spots appear.
6Serve roasted slices as is. The skin peels off easily after roasting.
