Pumpkin has low calories and low carbohydrate content. We think it is sweet not because of its high sugar content, but because its fructose content is sweeter than sucrose.

Potato chips have 548 calories, cookies have 433 calories, chocolate has 554 calories, potato chips have 560 calories...and pumpkin chips have only 22 calories!

There is no need to add sugar in the process of making dried pumpkin. It is purely the fructose in the pumpkin. You don’t need to look at it after eating it.

How to make crispy dried pumpkin

1. Fresh pumpkin (there are different types of pumpkin, Do as you like)

2. Wash the pumpkin, peel off the skin on the surface, and remove the flesh inside. Then slice it into strips and cut it into 1.5 cm thick slices, a little longer. It can be shorter

3. Put it directly into the air dryer to dry until it is dry, about 6 hours, about 58 degrees.

4. Wash the dried pumpkin. Mix with chili pepper, glutinous rice flour, and edible salt, and steam until cooked.

5. After steaming, let it air-dry for 2 hours until the pumpkin is dry and crispy. There is no need to add sugar during the process, because there is sufficient sugar in the pumpkin, and it tastes sweet like pumpkin after drying. It’s waxy, dry and crispy and very chewy.

Notes:

Do not steam and air-dry directly for convenience, because after steaming, the pumpkin will be mushy and will stick to the grid, so don’t do it for convenience.
