The Pumpkin Medallions in Air Fryer are a tantalizing appetizer, very easy and quick to prepare. Just slice the Pumpkin, season it with an oil mixture, combine it with gorgonzola with mascarpone and walnuts and you’re done.
To prepare the pumpkin medallions I used the Butternut pumpkin variety, known as Zucca Violina, which lends itself very well to this recipe due to its shape. The Violina pumpkin is also suitable for the preparation of gnocchi, creams, risottos and can be consumed baked or combined with other ingredients, as in the recipe for Pumpkin and Sausage Pasta in Air Fryer, a very tasty first course. You can also use other varieties like Delica or Mantovana.
