  1. Clean the pumpkin by removing the skin, seeds, and inner fibers.

  3. Heat the oil in a deep, high-sided pan.
  4. Fry the pumpkin sticks in the hot oil in small batches until they become golden and crispy.
  5. Remove them using a slotted spoon and transfer onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
