Cinnamon Delicata Squash Recipe made in an air fryer. Delicious vegetable side dish for fall, winter, or Thanksgiving.

When the oven is full, an air fryer is a perfect way to cook a vegetable side dish. This delicata squash recipe is so simple and quick it won’t add much work for your meal prep. It’s so delicious. I love making squash in the season of fall!

I buy delicata squash from our neighbor who is a hobby farmer. He grows vegetables and sells them in a shelter on the side of his house. We love stopping by his place to buy vegetables, tomatoes, corn, and pumpkins and squash in the fall. I love buying local and supporting small businesses like his. When we visited him the other day, the farmer recommended we try his tasty delicata squash. He makes it in the microwave, which gave me the immediate idea to try making this squash in my air fryer. So, I tried it and we were instantly in love with this vegetable.

I hope you try this, it’s so good:) Please scroll down to easily print this recipe.

The 4 Ingredients to Make this Delicata Squash Recipe

The ingredients need to make this cinnamon topped delicate squash recipe include the following ingredients:

  • delicata squash, peeled, cut in half and seeds removed
  • 1/2 tsp. olive oil to brush over the squash halves
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon sprinkled over the squash halves
  • 1 Tbsp. honey mustard to drizzle over the delicata squash halves after they have been cooked

Spray a small ceramic dish with cooking spray (optional, but I like to do this to make cleaning the dish easier). Place the dish with the prepared squash into the basket of the air fryer (I have an XL air fryer) and cook it for 13-16 minutes at 360°. The exact cooking time may vary based on the size of the squash. Cook it until the squash is soft to a fork pierce. Remove the cooked squash from the dish and place them on plates. Drizzle each half with honey mustard, 1/2 Tbsp. per squash half. Serve immediately.

The honey mustard addition is a surprise. I tried it on a whim and it was so totally delish on the squash:) So good!!

More about making this veggie dish:

This recipe uses an air fryer to cook the squash. I love using my air fryer to make foods. It’s so quick to heat up and frees up my oven for other cooking tasks. I have the XL size and it works out fabulous for a family of five, however, it works great for meals for one like when making eggs or breaded foods.

This is the kind I use. Love it! Super yummy drizzled over the delicata squash.

Serve this Delicata Squash Recipe for Dinner or as an Appetizer

This vegetable side dish is perfect for dinner to accompany a meat or as part of a vegetarian dinner. It also works as an appetizer or pre-dinner course. It is a small squash so it is not a filling dish. This simple veggie is healthy, delicious, and quick to make on a busy weeknight or add it to a weekend meal when grilling.

This squash is delicious as a leftover too. It tastes just as good the next day as it does when made fresh.
