For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour mixture. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pumpkin to achieve a beautiful, crispy crust. If you prefer a sweeter dish, drizzle a touch of maple syrup over the fried pumpkin before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the pumpkin: Halve the pumpkin, scoop out the seeds and stringy pith, and remove the tough outer skin. Cut the pumpkin flesh into roughly 2x3 inch pieces. (15 minutes)
02
StepSeason and dredge: In a large bowl, place half of the pumpkin pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add the flour and toss to coat each piece evenly, ensuring a light dusting. (5 minutes)
03
StepFry to golden perfection: Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the pumpkin pieces in a single layer (avoid overcrowding the pan). Cook, turning frequently, until golden brown and tender, about 10-15 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pumpkin. (20 minutes)

Jan 15, 2025The key is to not overcrowd the pan. It takes a little longer, but it's worth it for the crispy edges.
