Trying to figure out what to do with that pumpkin that nobody wants to carve? How about turning it into something else that’s fun to do like these Pumpkin Fries with Cinnamon Sugar? We’re not frying them or using oil here, and also, they will not be as crisp as standard fries, but they are a great and delicious snack!

Ingredients

1 small pumpkin
1/4 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Pinch salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Use convection setting if available. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cut a wedge out of a pumpkin. Remove peel and fiber surrounded by seeds. Cut pumpkin flesh in 1/4-inch sticks.
Place on a prepared baking sheets and place in oven. Toss every 15 minutes or so.
When “fries” are relatively crisp remove from oven, combine cinnamon, sugar, and salt and toss fries in mixture.
If you are making several sheets, keep in a warm oven (300°F) without cinnamon sugar coating. This will keep fries crisper.
