Notes
For Preheating: Check your air fryer users manual for how long you need to preheat your specific air fryer model. For my Ninja Max Air Fryer, its needs approximately 3 minutes to preheat.
Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep refrigerated. Squash will keep for 3-4 days when refrigerated. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 360 degrees.
