Ingredients

2 cups cubed butternut squash
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
2 to 3 tsp. olive oil
¼ tsp. salt, more to taste
¼ tsp. fresh ground black pepper, more to taste

Instructions

Place the squash in a medium bowl. Add the garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat.
Transfer the squash to the air fryer basket, and spread in a single layer, although it’s fine if they overlap a little and spray it.
Air fry at 400°F until the squash is fork tender, about 15 minutes, shake about halfway through cooking. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Notes

If you're cutting up a whole butternut squash, use a V-shaped vegetable peeler to remove the skin. peel until squash is completely orange with no white flesh remaining, about ⅛ inch deep. Using a chef's knife, halve squash lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Then cut the squash into cubes.
