Ingredients

1 pound Diced Butternut Squash
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Your Choice of Seasoning from the notes section below

Instructions

To prepare fresh butternut squash, peel the squash and slice it in half vertically. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out any seeds and fibers before dicing. A large squash yields ~ 2 pounds. You can make a double batch or refrigerate 1/2 for later.
Toss the butternut squash in the olive oil before adding the seasoning and stirring to evenly coat.
Air fry for 15-20 minutes at 400ºF, shaking halfway through for even cooking.
