Step 1

To make this easy air fryer recipe, use a sharp vegetable peeler and peel the butternut squash skin. Use a sharp chef knife, and cut squash halves, lengthwise, and then remove all seeds.

Step 2

Cut the squash into cubes about the size of dice. I try to do 1-inch cubes. You can skip the steps if you use pre-cut butternut squash cubes.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, add the butternut squash cubes, and toss squash with olive oil and seasonings.

Step 4

Once pieces of squash are well coated, in a single layer, pour seasoned squash pieces into the air fryer basket or onto baking sheet for a rack air fryer.

Step 5

Cook butternut squash on Air Fry, at 400 degrees for 16 to 18 minutes cook time, until squash is crispy and tender to your liking. Shake the basket halfway during the cooking process.

Step 6

Season cooked squash with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
