Ingredients

1 acorn squash
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and place squash halves cut-side down on the cutting board. Cut into ½-inch slices.
Transfer slices of acorn squash into a large bowl and coat with olive oil and seasonings of choice. Arrange acorn squash in a single layer in air fryer basket.
Air fry at 400F for about 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through. When the squash is fork tender and golden brown, remove from air fryer and repeat with remaining slices.

Notes

Seasoning ideas: For sweet acorn squash, season with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. For savory acorn squash, season with 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, or Italian seasoning) and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.

Storage: Air fryer acorn squash is best served immediately but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. For best results, reheat in the air fryer at 350F for about 5 minutes.
