Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F and lightly grease the basket with non-stick olive oil spray. Decide which flavor variation you want.
- Classic or Garlic Sage: Toss the cubed butternut squash in a mixing bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Cinnamon Maple: Toss the cubed butternut squash in a mixing bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
- Add to preheated air fryer and cook for a total of 18 – 20 minutes. Shake the basket at the 10-minute mark to ensure they are cooking evenly.
- Garlic Sage: While the squash is air frying, heat ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a small saute pan over medium. Add minced garlic, sage, and pine nuts. Saute for 2 - 4 minutes until the pine nuts are lightly browned. When the squash is done, pour this sauce over them in a mixing bowl and toss to coat.
- Garnish, serve immediately, and enjoy!
Notes
- Frozen Butternut Squash Cubes: Yes, you can certainly air-fry frozen squash cubes. Do not allow them to thaw before air frying. Simply season them and throw them into the air fryer. You may need to increase the cooking time by 2 - 4 minutes.
- Storing: Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: You can reheat butternut squash cubes in an air fryer or microwave. For best results, reheat in an air fryer at 350ºF for 3 – 6 minutes until warm and crisp. If you are in a rush, you can microwave them for 30 – 45 seconds until warm. If you made the garlic sage flavor, do not air fry to reheat.
