We all know potato fries, but pumpkin fries are far less familiar — and yet they deserve far more recognition. Serve them alongside classic fries, or use them as a stand-in. Here's how to make them.
Ingredients (serves 8)
- 1.5 kg pumpkin
- 40 cl sunflower oil
Preparation (10 min, cooking 7 min)
- Heat the deep fryer to 180°C (355°F).
- Cut the pumpkin into slightly thick fries.
- Fry in a first batch for 4 minutes, remove, then fry a second time for 3 minutes, until the fries are golden and crisp.
- Drain, salt, and serve.
A double fry, just like classic fries: the secret to a pumpkin that's golden and crisp outside, meltingly soft within.
