FAQs
What is The Best Pumpkin to Use?
We chose to use a Hokkaido pumpkin, which has a sweetish flavor reminiscent of chestnuts and a thin, completely edible rind. Alternatively, you can opt for a Delica pumpkin, which also has an edible rind and a delicious nutty aftertaste. In general, choose a pumpkin with sweet, firm, and not too watery flesh. For a super crunchy result, slice it thinly with a mandolin.
Pumpkin Chips Variations
If you like, you can replace the rosemary with sage leaves or a sprig of thyme, or replace the aromatic herbs with your favorite spices, such as sweet paprika or turmeric. For a gluten-free version, you can use rice flour instead of 00 flour.
Can I Make Pumpkin Chips in The Air Fryer Instead?
Of course! You can also use an air fryer: simply distribute them in the appropriate basket and cook them at 375°F/190°C for 15 minutes or on a suitable setting, turning them halfway through.
