Notes
One Layer Only: Put the seasoned butternut squash pieces in one layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Don't let them overlap or pile on top of each other.
Check If It's Done: Keep an eye on the squash as it cooks. You can check if it's ready by poking it with a fork or knife. It should be soft when it's done.
Shake or Flip: Shake the basket or turn the squash pieces over every 3-4 minutes. This helps them cook evenly on all sides and to prevent burning.
