Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash Peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) Add for extra flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel and cube the butternut squash into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, toss the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cinnamon if desired.
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the seasoned squash in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until tender and golden brown.

Make sure to cut the squash into even-sized cubes for even cooking. Feel free to adjust the seasonings and do not overcrowd the air fryer basket—cook in batches if needed. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
