- 1 medium butternut squash peeled and cubed

- 300 g grated cheese
- 240 ml veggie stock
- 2 Tsp mixed herbs
- 2 Tsp dried oregano
- salt & pepper
Kitchen Gadgets
- Cosori Air Fryer
- Silicone Pan With Handles
Instructions
- Place your peeled and cubed butternut squash into a bowl and add to it the olive oil and the seasonings and mix well with your hands.
- Air fry butternut squash for 20 minutes at 180c/360f. Then do a fork test to make sure it is fork tender.
- Whilst you wait add the remaining cheese sauce ingredients into your blender. Then when the air fryer beeps add the squash and blend until you have a creamy sauce. Do a taste test and add extra cheese if needed, you can adjust seasonings and if too thick blend in about 240ml/1 cup of skimmed milk. Then put the cheese sauce to one side.
- In the meantime, add the frozen cauliflower to the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes at 180c/360f.
- When the air fryer beeps and the cauliflower is cooked, place the cauliflower into your air fryer container and season with the remaining seasonings. Give it a mix for an even coating of seasonings.
- Pour the cheese sauce you already made over the cauliflower and then sprinkle with some grated cheese.
- Air fry cauliflower cheese for a final 10 minutes at the same temperature and then serve.

Notes
- Seasonings. You can mix and match your seasonings depending on what you have in – but I love parsley, mixed herbs, oregano, salt and pepper in my cheese sauces and my veggie recipes.
- Diet – If you are on a diet and want to cut the calories in this homemade cauliflower cheese then I recommend you go with lightest Philadelphia and use extra mature cheese, as then you will need less of it.
