  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim off the bottom end of the butternut squash and use a sharp vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
  3. Halve the squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and then cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss cubed squash with oil, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon until evenly coated.
  5. Place squash cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking time.
  7. Once squash cubes are fork-tender and golden brown, remove them from the air fryer.
  8. Sprinkle with additional coarse salt if desired.

Notes

  • If you want to prepare a whole butternut in halves, I recommend not peeling. The time will be extended by about 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time. 
  • Will this recipe work in an oven or stovetop?
  • Yes, You can roast squash in an oven at 400°F on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 30/40 minutes,
