Butternut Squash (Whole)
Air Fryer Butternut Squash, when cooked in halves, can be used for so many different dishes. It cooks quickly in the air fryer and comes out with a soft silky interior.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash that will fit in your air fryer
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut butternut squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp.
- Brush or spray squash with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
- Place in the air fryer, cut side down and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Turn over and cook for an additional 10 minutes face up, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Larger squash may need longer to cook.
- Slice or mash, as desired.
Notes
- A larger squash might need additional time to cook. Start with 30 minutes and extend if the flesh isn't easy to insert a fork into.
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.
