Servings: 4
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 c butternut squash, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried rosemary
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400℉, if needed. Not all air fryers require preheating.
- Prepare the butternut squash. Using a sharp knife, cut off the ends of the squash. Slice the squash in half horizontally. Then cut each half in half again, vertically. Scoop the seeds out of the sections. Slice each quarter into 1-inch pieces. Cube the quarters.
- Put 4 cups of squash into a large bowl. Toss with oil. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
- Transfer the seasoned squash to the air fryer basket. Cook for 16 to 20 minutes at 400℉. Be sure to shake the air fryer basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and to get crispier squash. Transfer the squash to a serving dish and enjoy. Drizzle with maple vinaigrette for some extra pizazz!
