Delicata Squash in the air fryer is the easiest, tastiest, and best way to cook delicata squash! Be sure to save this 15 minutes, 4 ingredient, gluten-free side dish.
Wash your delicata squash. No need to peel it! Cut it in half long-wise, clean out the seeds, and then slice into ½ - ¾ inch pieces. Try to make the pieces the same width.
Arrange your delicata squash pieces on an air fryer tray or basket. It's OK if a few pieces overlap or touch, but don't crowd the tray too much—cook in two batches if you can't get the squash pieces to fit.Spray or brush with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat to 400F. Air fry at 400F for 10-12 minutes, depending on how soft you like your squash and how thick your slices are. Keep an eye on the squash after about 8 minutes, and flip the pieces over if they are starting to brown but are not cooked through yet.
