Ingredients
- 1 large kabocha squash cut into 1-inch wedges
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. The outer skin is tough, so you can place the squash in the oven for 5 minutes to soften the skin before cutting.
- Slice the kabocha squash into 1-inch wedges leaving the skin on.
- In a bowl toss Kabocha squash with maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and olive oil.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lay kabocha squash wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fryer for 15 minutes and enjoy.
Notes
- Kabocha squash has very tough skin so you will need to be careful when cutting. You can place the squash into the microwave for 3-4 minutes to soften the skin.
- Choose a Kabocha squash that is heavy and free of soft spots.
