Air Fryer Winter Squash

Slightly crispy, caramelized squares of winter squash with the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior! This air fryer squash is unbelievably easy to make. Add more seasonings and some herbs to make it your own!
Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 4-5 cups winter squash such as kabocha or butternut, peeled, de-seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste

Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place the squash cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix well until all of the squash pieces are coated.
  • Spread the squash in a single layer in your air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
  • Air fry for 18-19 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the squash cubes are tender and slightly crispy on the outside. Serve.

Notes

Store leftover squash cubes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in your air fryer or in the microwave.
