Method 1: Air Fryer Acorn Squash Halves
- Prep the squash: Cut a 1.5-pound acorn squash in half from stem to bottom. Scoop out the seeds and pulp with a spoon (save the seeds to roast later if you like).
- Season: Brush 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the inside and outside of the halves, then sprinkle the cut sides with 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- First cook: Place the halves cut-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes.
- Second cook: Flip the squash cut-side up. (Optional: add a pat of butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a pinch of pumpkin pie spice to the center).
