Air Fryer Pumpkin Fries
“Move over French fries, because these homemade pumpkin fries are divine! They’re not only healthier than traditional fries, but they’re simple to make and crisp up beautifully in the air fryer. The maple-chipotle dipping sauce is the perfect accompaniment.” —Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland
