Air Fryer Acorn Squash
Air Fryer Acorn Squash is easy to make and a delicious side dish! The squash is seasoned with thyme and parmesan cheese.
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ½ tablespoon freshly chopped thyme - Plus, extra for garnish.
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese - Plus, extra for garnish.
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- First, preheat your air fryer. If your air fryer has a preheating option you can preheat your air fryer. If you don’t have that option, you can run the machine at 400 degrees F for 2-5 minutes. Leave the machine running for about 3 minutes for smaller air fryers. Leave the machine running for about 5 minutes for larger air fryers.
- Now, cut the acorn squash. Slice the squash in half. Next, scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Lastly, lay the squash cut side down and cut into ½ inch half circles.
- Place the cut squash into a bowl. Add the oil, thyme, parmesan, garlic powder, salt and ground black pepper. Combine until the squash is coated.
- Add the seasoned squash into your air fryer. Air fry the squash at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through. I suggest making this recipe in two batches for even cooking.
- Serve with a sprinkle of thyme and parmesan cheese!
Notes
Recipe pro-tips:
I recommend preheating your air fryer for even cooking.
You do not need to peel the acorn squash.
If your acorn squash is extremely hard to cut, poke holes in it and stick it in the microwave for a few minutes to soften it.
Don't stack the acorn squash slices on top of each other in the air fryer.
Storage directions:
Refrigeration - Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheating - Reheat the acorn squash in the air fryer at 325 degrees F until warm.Nutrition Facts
