Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole acorn squash
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Wash the acorn squash. With a sharp knife, cut the acorn squash in half. Use a spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds. Then, cut each half into four close in size pieces.
  • Place the acorn squash side down into the basket of the air fryer. Air fry at 330 degrees F for 20 minutes (preheat first, if your air fryer requires preheating).
  • Remove the squash, oil the insides of the squash, and sprinkle lightly with salt. 
  • Place the squash, cut side up, back into the air fryer basket. 
  • Air fry at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes more, or until the cut surface is browned and the inside of the squash is fork tender. 
  • Optionally, drizzle with pure maple syrup. And serve.
