Air Fryer Butternut Squash

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

Butternut squash gets tender with slightly crispy edges when it's cooked in the air fryer. The simple seasonings here complement the subtle sweetness from the squash. Serve this quick and easy side dish with just about anything, from roast chicken to pork.

Ingredients:
  • 1 medium butternut squash, cubed (3/4-inch; about 4 cups)
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, toss squash, oil, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic powder together in a large bowl.
  2. Lightly coat the fry basket with cooking spray. Add the prepared squash to the basket; cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, open the fryer and lightly toss the squash to redistribute; cook until lightly browned and crispy on edges, about 10 minutes more.
