Method 2: Air Fryer Acorn Squash Slices
- Prep the squash: Cut a medium acorn squash in half, remove the seeds, and slice the halves into 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick half-moon pieces.
- Season: Toss the slices in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Cook: Arrange the slices in a single or light double layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F to 400°F for 15 to 18 minutes, shaking or flipping the slices halfway through.
- Glaze: Toss with a warm mixture of melted butter, a touch of honey or maple syrup, and minced garlic right before serving.
