Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (approximately 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons honey Can be swapped with maple syrup or agave syrup.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and cut the butternut squash in half, remove the seeds, and dice it into bite-sized cubes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed squash with olive oil, honey, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Place the seasoned squash in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. Check for doneness; the squash should be golden brown and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
Serving
  1. Remove the squash from the Air Fryer and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish or a comforting addition to meals.

Notes

For best results, avoid overcrowding the Air Fryer basket. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
