Notes

Shape - Cut the fries to approximately ½ cm or ¼ of an Inch sizes. Thinner they are, the more crispy they become.
Soaking - Is optional, but gets that extra pumpkin starch out.
Seasoning - experiment with a teaspoon of garlic, herbs of your choice or go for a bit of tabasco or chilli powder if you are going after spicy pumpkin fries.
Preheating the oven - Is important to prevent fries from becoming mushy.
Air Fryer Fries - An option to make air fryer pumpkin fries done in less time.
