A simple, flavorful recipe for roasting honeynut squash, perfect for a healthy side dish or main course.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Honeynut Squash
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the honeynut squash, cut off the top and bottom, then slice it in half lengthwise.
  3. Scoop out the seeds and stringy parts with a spoon.
  4. Brush the halves with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Air Fryer Method

  1. Prepare the honeynut squash as previously described: rinse it, cut off the top and bottom, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds and stringy bits.

  2. Brush the inside of each squash half with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

  3. Place the squash halves cut-side down in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.

  4. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for about 20 minutes. Check the squash for doneness by poking with a fork – it should be tender and slightly caramelized.

  5. Once done, carefully remove the squash halves from the air fryer (they’ll be hot!) and serve as desired.

Note: As air fryer models can vary, it’s a good idea to check on the squash halfway through the cooking time to make sure it’s not cooking too quickly. You can always add more time if needed.

Notes

Don’t throw away the seeds; they can be roasted for a crunchy snack!
