Air Fryer Butternut Squash Recipe

Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for air fryer butternut squash:

Ingredients:

• 1 medium-sized butternut squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the butternut squash. Start by peeling the squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut off the top and bottom of the squash, then cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard them. Proceed to cut the squash into evenly sized cubes or slices.
3. In a large bowl, combine the butternut squash cubes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss the squash gently to ensure all the pieces are coated evenly.
4. Once the air fryer is preheated, carefully place the seasoned butternut squash into the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, you can cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding.
5. Cook the butternut squash in the air fryer for approximately 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the pieces halfway through. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of your squash cubes and the air fryer model you’re using. The squash should be golden brown and tender when done.
6. Once cooked, carefully remove the butternut squash from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving dish. You can garnish it with some fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, if desired.
7. Serve the air fryer butternut squash as a side dish or use it in various recipes as per your preference.
