Ingredients

10 ounces butternut squash ½ inch cubes (about 2 cups)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon dried sage
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Add your butternut squash cubes to a large bowl. Add the olive oil, sage, salt, and pepper and toss to combine.
Add the squash to the air fryer basket. Air fry for 10-14 minutes at 400 degrees F, shaking every 4-5 minutes.
Remove from the air fryer and serve as desired.

Notes

If slicing up your own butternut squash, peel the squash, scoop out the seeds, and then cut the squash into ½ inch cubes. You'll be using 10 oz, or 2 cups of cubes. This will add to the prep time needed.

Tips:

All air fryers cook differently. Check frequently for doneness.
If your squash cubes are larger, you will likely need to add more time. Larger butternut squash cubes may actually take between 20-25 minutes.
This recipe is easy to double, just make sure not to crowd your air fryer basket.
If adding maple syrup to your butternut squash before air frying, make sure to check frequently and don't overcook, as the maple syrup might cause your squash to burn.
