Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
Instructions
- To make this easy air fryer recipe, use a sharp vegetable peeler and peel the butternut squash skin. Use a sharp chef knife, and cut squash halves, lengthwise, and then remove all seeds.
- Cut the squash into cubes about the size of dice. I try to do 1-inch cubes. You can skip the steps if you use pre-cut butternut squash cubes.
- In a medium or large bowl, add the butternut squash cubes, and toss the squash with olive oil and seasonings.
- Once pieces of squash are well coated, in a single layer, pour seasoned squash pieces into the air fryer basket.
- Cook butternut squash on Air Fry, at 400 degrees F for 16 to 18 minutes cook time, until squash is crispy and tender to your liking. Shake the basket halfway during the cooking process.
- Season cooked squash with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
If using a larger squash, cook in two batches so the squash is not too stacked or overlapping while cooking.
Because all air fryer are different, cooking times may vary.
Try to cut pieces into similar sizes to help ensure even cooking. If using large pieces, cooking times may need an extra minute or two.
