How Long to Air Fry Butternut Squash (cubed)

Air fry butternut squash (cubed) at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. Exact settings, when to shake, and how to tell when it is done.

400°F for 15 to 20 minutes, shake at 9.

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Arrange the butternut squash (cubed) in a single layer with space between pieces. Crowding traps steam and stops browning.

3. 3

   Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking or flipping at the 9-minute mark.

4. 4

   Start checking at 15 minutes. Every air fryer runs a little differently.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.
