Move over french fries—these homemade pumpkin fries are divine! Not only are they healthier than traditional fries, but they are simple to make and crisp up beautifully in the air fryer. The maple-chipotle dipping sauce is the perfect accompaniment. —Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland


Test Kitchen tip
  • If you don’t have pumpkin on hand, butternut squash makes an excellent substitute. And don’t forget to save those seeds for roasting!
