2 tablespoons spice mixture of: Bell pepper, paprika and curry powder, 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Preheat the oven to 200° top-bottom heat.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the pumpkin sticks dry with paper towels.
Beat the egg whites until stiff.
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Fill the spice mixture into a bag or box. Now add the pumpkin sticks. Shake firmly so that the spices are evenly distributed.
Put the fries in a bowl and fold in the beaten egg whites.
Now place them on the baking tray. Important: Do not put them on top of each other!
Bake for 10-15 minutes. Then turn and bake again for 10-15 minutes.
If you want it especially crispy, switch the oven to hot air for the last 3 minutes. But be careful: keep an eye on the fries, otherwise they will quickly turn black!
