Quick and Delicious Air Fryer Delicata Squash Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

For the Squash:

  • 2 medium delicata squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Seasonings:

  • Smoked paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Squash:
    • Wash the delicata squash thoroughly and cut them into rounds or half-moons. Remove the seeds, ensuring uniform slices.
  2. Seasoning Sensation:
    • Drizzle olive oil over the sliced squash, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Optional Flavor Enhancements:
    • If desired, experiment with additional seasonings such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or a touch of cinnamon to elevate the flavor profile.
  4. Into the Air Fryer:
    • Arrange the seasoned delicata squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Adequate spacing ensures even crisping.
  5. Crisping Magic:
    • Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 12-15 minutes. Flip the squash slices halfway through the cooking time to achieve a consistent crispiness.
  6. Golden Perfection:
    • Once the delicata squash reaches a golden brown hue and attains a satisfying crispiness, carefully transfer the slices to a serving platter.
