Notes
If you'd like to make sweet butternut squash: Use cinnamon, sugar-free maple syrup (or a maple syrup you prefer), and brown sugar (or brown sugar replacement) to make a sweet version. You can roast the squash with cinnamon and add maple and/or brown sugar to taste.
To make butternut squash fries in the air fryer: use spirals or zig-zag butternut cuts if you want something decorative or would like to enjoy butternut squash as a replacement for sweet potato fries.
To roast a whole butternut squash: roasting a whole butternut squash takes longer than the cubes. Simply cut your squash in half and remove the core. Then, use the remaining steps to roast a whole squash face up. No need to flip it, but you might need to add some additional time to cook it until it is tender.
Use this to make butternut squash soup: You can enjoy this dish as a side, but also as a base for soup. All you need are two additional ingredients.
