Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash or 4 cups diced
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Either buy cubed butternut squash or peel and cube it yourself. To cube it first cut off the ends, then stand it on end and use a vegetable peeler, not a knife, to remove the skin. A Y-peeler will work best for removing the thick skin.
- Once it is peeled cut it in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Then dice it into 1 inch cubes.
- Put the cubes in a bowl and add the olive oil, cinnamon and salt. Toss to mix.
- Put the seasoned cubes in the air fryer basket. Don't fill it more than half full.
- Set the air fryer at 400 F for 15 minutes. Take the basket out and shake it halfway through to redistribute the pieces and ensure even cooking.
- Check for doneness. It is done when a fork can easily pierce the cube. It will be brown on the edges and soft in the middle. If it needs more time return it to the air fryer another 3-5 minutes of cooking.
- Serve right after cooking. If you'd like to make it sweeter drizzle it with 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or honey.
Notes
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer.
- This recipe will also work well for acorn or kabocha squash.
- For an alternative seasoning mix replace the cinnamon with:
- Ginger
- Cumin, chili powder and black pepper
- Garlic powder and paprika
- Thyme, rosemary or Italian seasoning
- Five spice powder
- Curry powder
