Notes

Top Tip: to avoid any accidents use a sharp knife to cut the butternut squash. See the video to see how I cut the squash into cubes.
Tip: only air fryer one layer of the cubed butternut squash at a time. You will likely have to make it in batches depending on the size of your air fryer basket and the size of your butternut squash.
