Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Preheat your air fryer to 400° F (about 200°C).
- Slice off the stem at the top of the squash, then slice it vertically. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
- Brush the flesh side of each butternut halve with olive oil.
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the fleshy side of the butternut.
- Spray your air fryer basket with a non-aerosol cooking spray, brush with cooking oil, or line it with air fryer parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Place the butternut inside the basket, with the skin side facing upwards. Air fry for 20 minutes or until tender (a knife inserted in the middle should come out easily).
- Use a pair of kitchen tongs to turn over the butternut squash. Then, brush the flipped side with the remaining oil and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar on it.
- Air fry for 7-8 minutes, or until caramelized. Arrange on plates, sprinkle a pinch or two of salt on top, then serve.

Notes
- The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the squash and air fryer model. Generally, air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes. Test tenderness with a knife or fork; the butternut is ready when it pierces easily.
- I used a Ninja Foodi 8qt Air Fryer for this recipe, but it can work with other air fryer models. Adjust the time depending on the size of the squash, and cook in batches if needed, to avoid overcrowding your air fryer basket.
- While it can be slightly tough, the skin of the butternut is edible.
