Ingredients

½ pound frozen butternut squash cubes
½ tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
pinch salt optional

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer at 370F / 190C for 3 minutes.
Add the butternut squash cubes, olive oil, dried thyme, garlic powder and salt to a bowl. Stir with a spoon to coat the squash in the oil and seasonings.
Place the butternut squash in an even layer in your air fryer basket and air fry for 12-18 minutes at 370F / 190C. Check the basket after 10 minutes to see how well the squash cubes are cooked through. Then check every 4-5 minutes, and either stir or give it a good shake.
Cook time will vary slightly depending upon the thickness of the cubes of butternut squash. If needed, continue to air fry at intervals of 3 minutes.
Remove the butternut squash cubes from the air fryer carefully as the basket will be very hot.

Notes

If you are dicing the butternut squash yourself to freeze, I suggest cutting into roughly similar size cubes so they air fry more evenly when you come to cook them.
Evenly coat the squash cubes in oil and seasonings.
Air fry the butternut squash in a single layer for an even cook time.
Cook time will vary depending upon the size of your butternut squash cubes. If they are on the larger side, they may need a little longer cook time.
The butternut squash cubes should be tender with slight browning to the edges.
Always be careful when removing the vegetables from the air fryer basket as it will be very hot.
