Tips & Tricks (5)

Uniform Cube Cutting 🔪
Cut butternut squash into 3/4-inch cubes for even cooking; larger pieces stay undercooked while smaller ones burn in the air fryer's intense heat.
Pat Dry for Maximum Crispiness 💧
Pat cubed squash completely dry with paper towels before tossing with oil and seasonings; excess moisture steams rather than crisps the exterior.
Brown Sugar Caramelization Timing ⏱️
Add brown sugar in the last 3-5 minutes of cooking to prevent burning; let it caramelize directly on the hot squash for a glazed, candied exterior.
Don't Skip the Oil Coating 🫒
Use just enough olive oil to lightly coat all pieces (about 1-2 tablespoons per pound); this creates the crispy texture while keeping the dish healthier than deep frying.
Shake Basket Halfway Through 🔄
Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking (around 12 minutes) to ensure all sides cook evenly and achieve consistent golden-brown coloring throughout.
