Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 honeynut squash about 8 oz each
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • sprinkling smoked paprika optional

Instructions

  • Slice each honeynut squash in half lengthwise through the stem.
  • Scoop out the seeds of each honeynut squash half.
  • Brush the faces of the honeynut squash with olive oil. Season with dried thyme, salt, pepper, and a sprinkling of smoked paprika.
  • Place in your air fryer basket in a single layer, face up.
  • Air fry at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, until thickest section of the squash is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Remove and enjoy.

Notes

  • Cooking time may depend on the size and ripeness of your honeynut squash. Ripe honeynut squash has a golden orange skin with very little to no green left. (Honeynut squash is the color of zucchini when unripe).
  • If you also scoop out some of the stem area of the squash (thicker part), cook time may only be 18-20 minutes.
  • All air fryers cook differently. Your honeynut squashes may need more or less time, depending on your air fryer.
  • You can save the honeynut squash seeds for roasting if you like!
