    Air Fryer Butternut Squash Recipe

    Butternut squash is a type of produce that I really didn't become accustomed to until I was an adult. Now, I can't get enough of this fall treat!

    There is just something that is completely comforting about this hearty flavorful squash.

    I love that it is packed some vitamin A and some other vitamins!

    We have been sharing a lot of fall or holiday type recipes that you can make in your air fryer.

    If you are interested in making additional holiday air fryer recipes, you need to check out: Air Fryer Sweet Apples, Air Fryer Potatoes and Air Fryer Green Bean Casserole.

    HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER BUTTERNUT SQUASH

    1. Wash the butternut squash to remove any debris or dirt.
    2. Peel the squash, cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
    3. Using a sharp knife, cut the squash into bite sized pieces.
    4. Drizzle the maple syrup over the cubed squash.
    5. Then add paprika and garlic powder over the squash. Stir to combine well.
    6. Air Fry the squash at 380F/193C for 20-22 minutes. Be sure to stir (or shake basket) to mix up the squash at least two times during the cooking process

    TIPS FOR AIR FRYER BUTTERNUT SQUASH

    Use a sharp knife. You need to be careful but a sharp knife is needed to cut the squash.

    Use a high quality vegetable peeler. Complete disclosure, I broke mine while taking pictures of this recipe. I have invested in a new one, hopefully it lasts a long time!

    If you are using small squash, you can use one than one. If you have a lot of cubes, you may need to adjust the cook time to get it evenly cooked.

    Use different spices. If you have a special combination of spices you like, use them! Make this recipe your own!

    This recipe can be made in an air fryer with a basket or tray. If you are using a tray, I suggest putting it on the middle section.

    If your air fryer has more than one function, I would suggest using the "Air Fryer" function.

    This air fryer recipe DOES reheat well, so you can make this dish ahead of time and reheat or you can use it for meal prep.

    WHAT TO SERVE WITH AIR FRYER BUTTERNUT SQUASH

    If you are using this as a holiday side dish, you can serve it with other holiday air fryer recipes such as Air Fryer Sweet Apples, Air Fryer Potatoes and Air Fryer Green Bean Casserole.

    You can serve this recipe with some sauteed asparagus. I like to cut my asparagus into bite sized pieces, saute them and then mix it with these air fried butternut squash pieces.

    If you do not want to eat this dish plain, you can serve it over a bed of greens, top with some pumpkin seeds, cranberries and your favorite dressing. It will make a filling and beautiful salad.
