Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 small delicata squash
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Wash and slice the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and pulp. Cut the squash into 1” slices.
  • Toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the squash in the air fryer basket. Cook on 400° F(205°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

Notes

  • Save the seeds to make roasted squash seeds in the air fryer.
  • You can use any type of seasoning you like on the squash. It's good with all different kinds of flavors, like Cajun seasoning, maple syrup, etc.
  • The skin is edible, and not only edible, but good. You don't have to remove the skin, and you likely won't even notice it's there while eating it.
  • Depending on the size of your slices, they might need a little more or less time to get perfectly tender.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
