How to cook Pumpkin chips

Step 1

Pumpkin chips - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Butternut squash or sweet potatoes work well as pumpkin alternatives. Both hold their shape during baking and offer a similar slightly sweet flavor profile.
Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For maximum crispness, add a silica gel packet or piece of parchment between layers.
These chips are naturally vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and low-carb friendly (with about 50% fewer carbs than potato chips). They're also nut-free if prepared in a nut-free environment.
Use firm pumpkin varieties like Sugar Pie pumpkins, slice very thin (1/16 inch), and pat slices dry before baking. A brief cool-down period on the baking sheet after removing from oven also helps crisp them.
Absolutely! Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes total, flipping halfway. Keep a close eye as cooking times vary between air fryer models.
Experiment with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, smoked paprika for smokiness, cinnamon-nutmeg for sweet chips, or everything bagel seasoning for savory crunch.
Use multiple baking sheets in a single oven rack, rotating sheets halfway. For significant quantity increases, bake in batches to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
While best fresh, you can freeze unbaked slices on parchment-lined sheets, then transfer to freezer bags for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes per side.
