Notes
Expert Tips:
- Purchase butternut squash in season, usually between late summer and December. If you're craving butternut squash out of season, I recommend purchasing frozen butternut squash and preparing that.
- Select squash with smooth skin. It should be firm and free of soft spots and blemishes. Also, the heavier the squash, the sweeter it will be.
- I use an Instant Vortex Air Fryer, so if you're using something smaller, then be prepared to arrange the squash in a single layer and cook them in batches.
