Air Fryer Delicata Squash
Air fryer delicata squash is a quick and easy side dish to make this fall or winter, and it comes out gorgeous!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 delicata squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
- Take the squash and chop off the top and bottom. Stand the squash on one end, then slice down the middle. Scoop the seeds out of each half and discard. Slice the squash into ½ inch pieces.
- Add the squash to a large bowl with the olive oil, thyme, and salt. Toss to combine.
- Add the squash to your air fryer and cook at 400 degrees F for 14-16 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes. Remove when the squash is roasted and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Notes
- The squash I used was 1 pound, 3 ounces before slicing.
- You can easily use different spices. Check the blog post above for ideas.
- All air fryers cook differently. Start checking for doneness around the 12 minute mark.
- Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket. Make sure there is proper airflow between the squash slices.
- For a crispier squash, or to speed up the cooking time, slice the squash into thinner pieces about ¼ inch rather than ½ inch.
