Method
Peel the pumpkin1 and cut it into slices about 1.5 cm thick.
Mix the honey, olive oil, cinnamon, and salt, then coat the slices on all sides.
Arrange the pumpkin1 in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 190 °C for 15–18 minutes, turning once, until the pumpkin1 is tender and lightly caramelized around the edges.
Serve warm or let cool to room temperature.
Tips
- Why it works
- Lay the slices in a single layer. Hot air flows around the edges, and the pumpkin dries out instead of stewing in its own juice.
- Substitutions
- Swap olive oil for the same amount of sunflower oil. Use 12–15 g of sugar instead of honey, the crust will be drier.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is cutting slices thicker than 2 cm. After 18 minutes the edges are already dark, while the middle stays firm when pierced.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes at 170 °C, or eat cold.
- Serve with
- Serve with cottage cheese or thick yogurt as an afternoon snack.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
