Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash (approx. 3 lbs, or 1 ½ kg)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sage
Toppings, optional
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
Instructions
- Start by preparing your butternut squash. You want to peel off the skin with a vegetable peeler, then remove the seeds and dice it. Coat the squash evenly with the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat your air fryer to 360 °F / 180 °C. Add the seasoned squash chunks, and air fry for about 10 minutes. Shake the basket, and air fry for another 10 minutes, or until the squash can easily be pierced with a fork.
- Place the squash in a serving bowl, and top with cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
