Equipment

Ingredients

4 cups of peeled and diced butternut squash (½-inch pieces)
1 ½ teaspoons of olive oil
½ teaspoon of garlic salt

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the butternut squash, olive oil, and garlic salt until thoroughly mixed.
Place butternut squash in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 7 minutes.
Shake the basket and cook for another 7 minutes.

Notes

Cooking time can vary: According to the size of the squash pieces (if larger than ½-inch) and your individual air fryer. So monitor the pieces and adjust accordingly.

Don’t overcrowd the basket: Otherwise, the squash will steam rather than become caramelized and crisp. Cook in batches if necessary.

Time-saving hack: Some supermarkets sell pre-chopped butternut squash. I haven’t actually tried it to see if the flavor differs, but it will reduce the prep time to practically seconds.
