Air Fryer Butternut Squash
Description
Air fryer butternut squash is tender on the inside, just a bit crispy on the edges, and ridiculously easy to make. Perfect weeknight side!
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash cut into 1-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt plus additional to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary optional
Directions
- Place the squash in a large bowl and toss with the oil, salt, cinnamon, and pepper. Keep the bowl handy, no need to wipe it out.
- Place the squash in an air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F until the squash is fork tender and lightly browned in places, about 22 to 25 minutes. Starting at the 10-minute mark, remove the basket and toss the squash, then toss a few more times at it nears the end of the cook time. Note that if your air fryer basket is small, you may need to extend the cooking time.
- Transfer the squash back to the bowl you used to toss it with the oil and spices. Toss with the maple syrup, rosemary, and a pinch of additional salt to taste. Enjoy warm.
