How to Make Air Fryer Acorn Squash: Step-by-Step Guide

STEP 1.Start by cutting your acorn squash in half, from top to bottom. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and fibers from the center. Then, slice the squash into 1-inch thick rings or wedges, depending on your preference. Remember, the thinner the slices, the quicker they cook!

STEP 1.Place the squash slices in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil or melted butter. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a fall-inspired flavor. For a savory version, toss in some garlic powder. If you’re using maple syrup, drizzle it over the slices, ensuring they are evenly coated for that sweet, caramelized finish.

STEP 2.Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Once preheated, place the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Air fry for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the squash is golden brown and crispy on the edges.

STEP 3.Once the squash is perfectly cooked, take it out and serve it hot! It makes an excellent side dish to your favorite fall meals, or enjoy it as a snack. You can even drizzle a bit more maple syrup or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like rosemary for extra flavor.
