Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Honey Nut Squash with Maple and Pecans.
Step 1
Start by giving your honeynut squashes a good scrub to remove any dirt, ensuring they’re clean and ready for cooking.
Step 2
Next, slice each squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds, placing the halves cut-side up on your cutting board.
Step 3
In the cozy cavity of each squash half, add a teaspoon of butter, allowing it to melt into the sweet flesh.
Step 4
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt, a dash of ground black pepper, and a hint of fragrant Saigon cinnamon to elevate the flavors.
Step 5
Now, gently place the seasoned squash halves into the air fryer basket, making sure they fit comfortably.
Step 6
Set your air fryer to air-roast at 400°F (200°C) and let them cook for about 25 minutes, or until they’re tender and bursting with flavor.
Step 7
Once they’re perfectly cooked, drizzle a generous amount of maple syrup over the top and finish with a sprinkle of chopped pecans for that delightful crunch.
Step 8
Serve these deliciously sweet and savory squash halves warm, and enjoy the comforting flavors that make this dish a true fall favorite!.
