Notes
Add different spices. This butternut squash would also be delicious with chili powder and cumin for a "southwestern/Mexican" variety, or brown sugar and cinnamon for a sweet and savory side dish. You could also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of spice.
Use pre-chopped butternut squash. This will cut off about 10 minutes on the prep time!
Don't overfill the air fryer basket. If your butternut squash is on the larger side, you will want to do this in two batches. If you have too much squash overlapping, the squash will turn out mushy.
