Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium Butternut Squash
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Cube the butternut squash by peeling the skin using a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, then slice off both ends. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and slice each half into 1-inch strips before cutting them into cubes.
- Toss the butternut squash cubes in a large bowl and coat with the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to combine.
- Place the squash in the air fryer (no preheating required) and cook at 375°F for 16-18 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes, until the squash is fork-tender and golden. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook in two batches.
- Garnish with desired toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Important Note about Salt: Not all salts are made equal and cannot be substituted 1:1. If you are substituting table salt for kosher salt, you will need to cut the amount called for in the recipe by at least half.
