Air Fryer Butternut Squash
Report
With crispy, golden edges and a rich sage butter drizzle, Air Fryer Butternut Squash is the perfect side dish for fall dinners or as a topping for salads. The combination of tender squash, crispy breadcrumbs, and the nutty flavor of browned butter makes this dish absolutely perfect for squash season!

Ingredients
- 1 lb butternut squash peeled and cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp flour (see note for gluten free option)
- ¼ cup Italian breadcrumbs or regular breadcrumbs (see note for gluten free option)
- ¼ tsp salt increase to 1/2 tsp if you are using unsalted butter
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp herbs de provence increase to 1 tsp if using regular breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp butter
- 4-6 sage leaves
Instructions
- Toss butternut squash with olive oil.
- Stir together flour, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs de provence. Sprinkle over squash and toss to coat.
- Transfer to greased air fryer basket.
- Cook at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, tossing with tongs every 5 minutes or so. Increase heat to 400 degrees and cook for about 5 minutes longer to crisp up the edges.
- In a small sauce pan, melt butter. When it just starts to darken/brown, toss in sage leaves. Remove from heat and stir or swirl pan for another minute to wilt the sage.
- Drizzle sage butter over squash and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating in the air fryer to keep that crunchy, crispy texture on the outside.
- Gluten free: use gluten free flour and gluten free breadcrumbs OR omit the flour and breadcrumbs entirely.
- The sage butter really takes this butternut squash recipe to the next level, but depending on what else you are serving (or if you realize that you actually forgot sage on your grocery list) you might choose to skip it - completely delicious either way!
