Squash cooked in the air fryer is really quick and delicious. It comes out nice and browned in places without being too mushy in the middle, and it only takes 8 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

I really don’t like it when yellow squash is so soft that it’s mushy in the middle. I therefore prefer methods of cooking it that use high heat for a short time.

Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
