Notes

  • There is just 1 Freestyle SmartPoint in a serving of Air Fryer butternut squash cubes.
  • Do not let the air fried butternut squash fries touch each other in the air fryer. Cook in batches to allow plenty of room so you have perfectly cooked butternut squash fries.
  • For quick easy Air Fried Butternut Squash start with store bought ready cut butternut nut cubes instead.
  • You definitely want to peel the butternut squash skin off for this as it is rather tough.
  • Try and make sure the butternut squash cubes are all cut to the same size so that they cook evenly and at the same rate.
  • Feel free to use pumpkin instead of butternut squash.
  • Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking food for doneness, then adding more time as needed.
