Steps
How to prepare Breaded Pumpkin in Air Fryer
Cut the pumpkin into slices just over 1/4 inch thick, removing the skin and seeds
In a container, combine breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, grated Grana, chopped parsley, and rosemary. Mix with a spoon
In another container, beat the eggs. Dip the pumpkin slices first in the eggs then in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring the mixture adheres well
Place them, as you prepare them, on the tray or air fryer rack, slightly oiled. Spray a little oil on both sides
Cook the pumpkin at 392°F for 13 minutes, checking the cooking after 10 minutes and if necessary, flip the slices and continue for the remaining minutes
A nice golden crust should form on the surface
Serve it immediately and enjoy, it’s delicious 🤩

Storage of Breaded Pumpkin in Air Fryer
If you have leftovers, you can store the Breaded Pumpkin in the refrigerator for 1 or at most 2 days, well covered with plastic wrap or sealed in an airtight container to then reheat as needed, always in the Air Fryer, at 338°F for a few minutes. It will become crispy almost like freshly made
Tips on Preparing Breaded Pumpkin
I recommend using rosemary sparingly, as a large amount would cover the taste of the pumpkin, remember it’s the star of the dish.
