Notes
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.
