Equipment

  • Air Fryer (I use the Instant Vortex Plus XL)
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Serving dish
  • Kitchen tongs or a spatula
  • Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 small pumpkin approximately 23 oz.
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Slice the pumpkin into bite-sized cubes. Peel and remove the seeds.
  • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add the pumpkin cubes to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Place the seasoned pumpkin cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Cook the pumpkin cubes in the air fryer for 12–15 minutes. Shake the basket or flip the cubes halfway through until they are golden brown and tender.
  • Once cooked, remove the roasted pumpkin cubes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve them hot as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
  • Enjoy your crispy and flavorful roasted parmesan pumpkin cubes from the air fryer!

Notes

Notes
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or an substitute for cayenne pepper like red pepper flakes to the seasoning mixture.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices such as thyme, rosemary, or smoked paprika to adjust the flavor profile.
  • Replace Parmesan cheese with shredded cheddar, crumbled feta, or grated Gruyere for a different flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, leave out the parmesan cheese and use nutritional yeast instead for a cheesy flavor.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze onto the roasted pumpkin for a tangy twist.
