Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium Butternut squash Cubed
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For richness and crispiness
  • 1 tablespoon Maple syrup For added sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To enhance flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Adds mild heat
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano For earthy and herbal notes
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Provides depth of flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Dried paprika Contributes mild sweetness and color
  • 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder Offers a spicy kick
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary Adds a fragrant quality

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add cubed butternut squash, olive oil, spices, maple syrup, and rosemary, and toss to coat.
  3. Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray or line it with foil and spray.
  4. Place the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer at the bottom of your air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Cook for about 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the squash begins to brown and the edges appear crispy.

Notes

For best results, cut butternut squash into evenly-sized cubes and avoid overcrowding the air fryer. Serve immediately for the best texture. Experiment with spices for personal preference.
