Instructions
In a large bowl, add frozen butternut squash cubes, salt and oil. Stir to coat. In a small bowl, add measured basil, coriander and nutmeg. Set the spice mix aside.
Preheat air fryer for 3 minutes at 400°F. Add the butternut squash to the air fryer basket in a single layer. I had to cook it in two batches not to overcrowd.
Air fry for 10 minutes at 400°F. Remove the basket and add the seasoning (add half of it if cooking in 2 batches). Shake and stir.
Air fry for another 5 minutes or until fork tender. Serve immediately.
Notes
cook in 2 batches not to overcrowd unless you have a large air fryer.
arrange the veggie cubes in one layer.
add spices only for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Spices can burn easily in air fryer and will lose the potency and aroma.
different air fryers may have different cooking times.
