PUMPKIN FRIES!!!

Pumpkin fries!

(Trust me, You'll LOVE them, be brave!)



Pumpkin Fries(Makes approximately 8 servings)
Ingredients
2 sugar pie pumpkins = approximately 8 cups when cut
If you want Savory fries, try these spices, 1 or all
2 tsp. curry powder
2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp. olive oil
 If you want Sweet fries try these, 1 or all2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (no sugar added)
2 tbsp. maple syrup or stevia for even less calories
2 tbsp Cinnamon 

Directions
Prep: preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 1 – Cut the pumpkins in half and remove the seeds.
Step 2 – Remove the skins with a potato peeler. (Careful not to get your fingers!)
Step 3 – Cut into strips, similar to french fries. They won’t be perfect, but close enough. About 1/4 to 1/2 inch in thickness all the way around is perfect.
Step 4 – Coat your pumpkin in desired spices (see instructions below).
Step 5 – Arrange the fries on a parchment lined cookie sheet so that they are in a single layer
Step 6 – Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the squash is soft and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 2 – Add 1 tbsp. of the spices.
Step 3 – Toss by hand until the pumpkin is well coated in oil and spices.
SWEET PUMPKIN FRIES
Step 1 – Place your cut pumpkin into a mixing bowl and sprinkle on your spices.
Step 2 – Add maple syrup and toss by hand until your pumpkin is well coated with syrup and spices.
Eat and Enjoy!
