• Pick a Pumpkin. You’ll need a sweet sugar pumpkin (or pie pumpkin). Wash the exterior, cut the stem off (sometimes called “handle”), then cut it in half, and, using a large spoon, scoop out the seeds.

  Cut each half into wedges. Aim for uniform thickness 1 to 2-inch wedges. Toss them with olive or avocado oil. For seasoning, we recommend using a simple mix of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cinnamon. Be sure to coat the wedges evenly with the mix.
  
• Preheat your air fryer to 375F (190°C). Once it’s ready, place the wedges in the air fryer basket. Ensure that the wedges are not overcrowded, and they have enough space to cook evenly. Yes, you can use parchment paper for an easy clean-up.

  Cook for 10 minutes, then carefully pull the basket out of the air fryer. Using tongs, flip the pumpkin wedges over to cook on the other side. Fry again for another 10 minutes, making sure to keep an eye on the pumpkin’s progress.
  
• When the air fryer pumpkin wedges are cooked, remove them onto a serving dish. You will see that the edges are crispy while the insides are tender and perfectly roasted.
