Ingredients

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium butternut squash about 3 pounds, peeled and cubed into ¾" pieces

Instructions

In a small bowl, add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and brown sugar. Whisk until well combined.
In a large bowl, add cubed butternut squash and coat it in olive oil. Then sprinkle seasoning over the top and toss to coat.
Air fry in two batches. First, preheat your air fryer to 400℉. Then place half of the squash in the air fryer in a single layer and fry for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until it is fork tender.
Repeat the frying process for the second batch, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Cut the squash into evenly sized cubes so it cooks through at the same rate.
Preheat the air fryer for the best results and crispy edges.
Cook in batches and avoid overcrowding the basket to prevent steaming.
Shake or flip the squash halfway through for even browning.
