Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Peel the butternut squash, removing the seeds and pulp. Cut it into evenly-sized 1 1/2-inch cubes.
Place the cut butternut squash, olive oil, honey, ground cinnamon, and sea salt into a bowl and mix to combine.
Place it in the air fryer in a single layer and air fry for 14-16 minutes until tender, turning the squash halfway through the cooking time.
Remove it from the air fryer, drizzling more honey on top if desired, and serve!

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.
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.
