Air Fryer Maple Sage Squash is the perfect winter side dish. It comes together quickly in my latest favorite appliance, and looks beautiful on any holiday table.
I learned years ago that if I add maple syrup to just about anything my kids will gobble it up. The fresh sage adds a nice earthy flavor. Squash is all over the place this time of year and you can make this dish with any variety.
If you choose butternut squash, peel it first, then cut in half, remove the seeds and chop. Both delicata and kabocha squash can be cooked and eaten with their skin on. So all you need to do is chop and remove the seeds.
Have you gotten an air fryer yet?! If not, it should definitely be on your Christmas wish list!
