Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 114kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash 5 cups cubed
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or pure maple syrup
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel and dice the butternut squash into 1-inch chunks and add to a large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and toss well to coat the squash in the oil and seasonings.
- Transfer to your air fryer basket. If your air fryer is really small, you may need to cook it in batches. They don't have to be in a single layer, but you don't want to fill it too full.
- Air fry at 400 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, shaking the basket every 10 minutes. Cook until they are fork-tender and golden but not burned.
- Serve immediately. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes until warm and crisp again.
Notes
- Make it easier - Buy pre-chopped butternut squash or even frozen butternut squash chunks.
- Oil-free - Use maple syrup instead of brown sugar and omit the oil.
