Air Fryer Butternut Squash Fries
Air Fryer Butternut Squash Fries are easy to make and so delicious! These fries are seasoned with smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 small - medium butternut squash - cut into ¾ inch thick fries
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- First, cut the ends off of the butternut squash. Then, cut in half and then, half again. You should have 4 pieces. Scoop out the seeds. Lastly, slice the butternut squash into fries (about ¾ inch thick).
- 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 375 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.
- Place the cut butternut squash into a large mixing bowl. Add the oil and spices. Use your hands to make sure the butternut squash is evenly coated in the spices and oil.
- Next, lay the butternut squash in the air fryer basket. Make sure you do not stack them on top of each other. Air fry at 375 degrees F for about 10-14 minutes, tossing halfway.
- You will need to make this recipe in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your air fryer. When a batch finishes cooking, allow the fries to cool on a wire cooling rack while you cook the next batch.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
Storage directions:
