Instructions

Preparation

15 Min.

Wash pumpkin, halve, remove seeds with a spoon and cut into approx. 2 cm wide wedges. Mix all spices with olive oil to form a paste and rub the pumpkin evenly.

Preheat smoker

20 Min.

Heat smoker to 120-130°C. Soak apple and cherry wood chips in water for 30 minutes, then place on the embers or in the smoker box.

Smoking

1,5 Std.

Spread pumpkin wedges on the smoker grate, close lid and smoke at constant temperature for 1.5 hours. Turn every 30 minutes and add more wood chips if needed.

Finishing

5 Min.

Pumpkin wedges are done when they are golden brown and a fork can easily be inserted. Serve warm or use as a side dish for autumnal dishes.

Pro Tip

Hokkaido pumpkin does not need to be peeled – the skin softens during smoking and is edible. Add a splash of apple juice to the smoker's water bowl for extra depth.
