Ingredients

  • 1 acorn squash about 2 pounds
  • 3 tbsp. butter melted
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 3 tbsp. fresh sage chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees.
  • Using a large, sharp knife slice acorn squash in half through the middle. Scoop out seeds. Cut each half in half again. Slice these quarters into ½ inch slices. Place in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl mix together melted butter, brown sugar and salt. Pour over squash slices and toss until well coated.
  • Add chopped sage and mix well. Place squash in the air fryer.
  • Air fry the squash slices for about 15 minutes, stopping halfway through to flip pieces for even cooking. Cooking times may vary depending on air fryer.

Notes

  • When slicing the squash, I like to make sure the scalloped edges of the squash are showing. See pictures in the post above. 
  • If you are using an air fryer that is smaller than 6 quarts, I'd recommend doing multiple batches.
