Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Butternut Squash Cut into cubes
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • ½ teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
  • ½ teaspoon Salt To season

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, toss up the butternut squash cubes along with olive oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
  • Preheat your air fryer (I used my Instant Vortex) at 370 F (190 C).
  • Once preheated, add the seasoned cubes of butternut squash in a single layer without crowding.
  • Cook at 370 F for 10 minutes, flipping once midway. Add the salt mid-way through, toss and continue to air fry until the 10 minutes cycle is complete.
  • Take out the cooked squash and garnish with chopped-up parsley (optional). Air Fryer butternut squash is now ready to be served.

Alternative method - in the oven

  • Follow the same steps as above to season the butternut squash cubes in a mixing bowl.
  • Then transfer the butternut squash to a baking tray, in a single layer.
  • Bake the squash at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, until caramelized and cooked. Season with salt and serve.
