Ingredients
Instructions
Cut the ends off the pumpkin.
Slice it in half.
Scoop out the seeds and peel the skin.
Slice the pumpkin into ¼ inch strips. The skinnier they are the crunchier they will be.
Place the pumpkin strips in a resealable plastic bag with the cornstarch. Shake the bag until the pumpkin is evenly coated in the cornstarch.
Fry one third of the pumpkin in a few inches of oil at 350° F for 3-6 minutes, until browned.
Place the pumpkin on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with the rest of the pumpkin.
Season to taste and enjoy.
