    We have been enjoying the swing of cooler air that is moving in and all the fall produce it brings with it.

    Acorn Squash is one of my fall favorites!

    Fall makes me think of comfort food and why not make it all in your air fryer?

    If you love your air fryer and fall comfort foods you should try our Air Fryer Sweet Potato Casserole and our Air Fryer Creamed Corn Casserole.

    2. With a sharp knife, cut the acorn squash in half.
    3. Use a spoon to remove the seeds from the squash.
    4. Place the squash halves into the air fryer basket. Please note that you may only be able to fit one in at a time with some air fryers. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and butter.

    Air Fryer Acorn Squash Tips:

    Be sure to check the squash during the last few minutes. Cook time will vary depending on the size of the squash. Keep on the lookout, your squash may cook faster!

    If you have a specific type of flavoring you like you can swap out the spices I used. Make this recipe your own.

    You can also use this recipe to make mashed acorn squash to use in another recipe.

    Pro Tips

    • Use Any Air Fryer: This recipe can be made in an air fryer unit with a basket or an air fryer oven. If you're using an air fryer oven, place your food on the middle rack and select the "air fry" function.
    • Check your food as it cooks! Since each air fryer runs differently, sometimes air frying is a trial and error-process. When cooking a new recipe, be sure to check on your food often. This will help you avoid over or undercooking, and help you learn your air fryer's specific ways!
