Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Peel and cube butternut squash into 1-inch pieces. Consistent size is key for even cooking.
- 2
Toss with olive oil, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, and cayenne.
- 3
Air fry at 380°F for 18-20 minutes, shaking twice, until caramelized and fork-tender.
- 4
Drizzle with maple syrup, scatter pepitas, and finish with fresh herbs.
Tip: Pre-cut butternut squash from the store saves major prep time. Cut pieces the same size or small ones burn while big ones stay raw. The natural sugars caramelize beautifully at this temperature.
Why Air Fry This?

- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
- 🔥Rapid air circulation delivers oven-quality results in a fraction of the time.
