Notes
- Cut the butternut squash into even cubes for even cooking.
- Use a sharp knife when cutting the squash. A dull knife is more likely to slip and cause harm.
- Spread out the squash cubes in a single layer so the air can circulate properly. I say this the key to getting those amazing crispy edges!
- The squash is done cooking when it's still a little firm, but the fork can get all the way through.
- Buy pre-cut butternut squash from the store to save some time on prep.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in an air fryer preheated at 330 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes until hot. Drizzle some more honey on top before serving again.
