📝 Ingredients

• 2 medium acorn squash
• 2 Tablespoon ghee
• 2 Tablespoon 100% maple syrup (or swap sugar free maple syrup for a lower carb option.)
• 1 Tablespoon chopped hazelnuts
• pinch cinnamon (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat your air fryer to 400F.
2. 2Meanwhile, cut each squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Carefully add the squash to your air fryer basket.
3. 3Spoon 1/2 Tbsp of ghee inside each squash half, and use the back of the spoon to rub a little ghee onto the sides and cut side of the squash.
4. 4Pour 1/2 Tbsp of maple syrup into each squash half.
5. 5Season lightly with salt and pepper and close the air fryer. Cook for 16-18 minutes, until softened and crispy on the edges. Test by poking through the flesh with a paring knife. If it slides smoothly, it's done!
6. 6Carefully remove the squash from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and cinnamon, if using. Serve immediately.
