Notes
- You'll save time if you buy pre-cut butternut squash cubes. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time is the cubes are larger or smaller than one inch.
- To avoid injury, use a very sharp chef's knife to cut the squash.
- Use a sturdy, stable cutting board. If your cutting board has any wobble, or slides around, set it atop a damp kitchen towel.
- Try to cut your squash into fairly uniform sized cubes, so they will cook evenly.
- You can also make butternut squash fries instead of cubes. Just don't cut the strips into cubes. Serve the squash fries with your favourite dipping sauce.
- Prep this dish ahead. Just peel and cut your squash cubes, toss all the ingredients together and store covered, in the fridge until you're ready to cook.
- Don't have an air fryer? Cook them in the oven at 400° for 25-30 minutes.
