Can you air fry acorn squash?
How to cut acorn squash?
I was determined to put the whole acorn squash in the air fryer – so I just cut the acorn squash in half with a large chefs knife. They are pretty hard so be sure to cut the squash on a cutting board. While you’re there – you’ll want to score the squash in a criss-cross pattern with your knife (you’ll see it better in the next step).
Then I put the halves into the air fryer. The basket in mine is pretty tight but this was a small squash – so it fit. I just had to tilt one a little.
How can you bake squash fast?
This acorn squash looked stuffed with brown sugar and butter – but it melts together pretty quickly. And man oh man – is it delicious!!! I can tell you – this was my dinner that night. I ate the whole squash and I can’t wait to do it again! You don’t need anything else – the butter and brown sugar are perfect!

I've never cooked acorn squash. I am definetly trying this recipe. Looks SO easy!
Excellent! I added chopped pecans and apple chips the last 5 minutes.
Love it! sounds tasty!
The only thing you are forgetting is: to add bake, roast. Mine has several choices, as well as air crisp and dehydrate, so it is confusing for some of us that have so many choices.
My recipes are always using Air Fry – I have two air fryers – one has no options – the other has multiple but I always use air fryer
