Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small Pumpkin
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 240 milliliters Sparkling water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the pumpkin: Cut a small pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, and peel off the skin.
2. Chop the pumpkin flesh into 1/4-inch thick slices or wedges.
3. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
4. Gradually whisk the sparkling water into the dry ingredients, forming a batter. The texture should be smooth and slightly thick.
5. In a deep skillet or frying pan, add the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F).
6. Working in batches, dip each pumpkin slice into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, then gently place it in the hot oil.
7. Fry the pumpkin slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
8. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pumpkin slices from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
9. Once all the pumpkin slices are fried, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish and additional flavor.
10. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious dairy-free crispy fried pumpkin as a snack or side dish.
