An Easier Way to Cook Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is hard to peel and cut when it’s raw so we skip that step in this recipe and cook it in halves. If your squash is too hard to cut in half, poke it with a fork and microwave it for 3-4 minutes first (I do the same with spaghetti squash if it’s too hard to cut).
Make sure your squash is small enough to fit into your air fryer, if not it can be cut into quarters. Season with cinnamon and salt or even just salt & pepper. Adding a touch of brown sugar will add sweetness and help with caramelization.

Ways to Enjoy This Recipe
Use this squash for any recipe that requires roasted butternut squash.
Serve it right out of the air fryer alongside baked pork chops. Blend it with broth and add a splash of cream to make soup! It’s perfect added to salads (especially our fave winter salad). Toss it with cooked grains (like farro) for a great side or salad.
