How to make pumpkin chips step by step:
1. Peel the pumpkin, remove all fibers and cut off the seeds. Rinse the fruit under running water and pat dry.
2. Using a sharp knife, cut the vegetable into slices about 3 mm thick. You can also use a grater with a shredded side for this process. In addition, the pumpkin can be cut into thin strips or grated on a coarse grater. Cubes, like candied fruits, will also be appropriate, but then the chips will dry longer.
3. Take a baking sheet and place the pumpkin slices on top of it. Then, to taste, you can season them with salt or sugar, sprinkle with hot pepper or any other spices and spices. Heat the oven to 100 degrees and send the pumpkin to dry for about 2 hours, while turning them regularly so that they dry evenly on all sides. Keep the oven door slightly ajar. Finished chips must be completely dry. Since the oven is different for everyone, the chips can be cooked for more or less than 2 hours. Therefore, always keep an eye on them. Put ready-made chips in a dry container: jar or paper bag, and store at room temperature in a well-ventilated place.
