1 large butternut squash Some stores like Trader Joe's sell the fresh pre cut squash, that will totally work too and save you a lot of time! If you go the pre packaged route, I suggest 2 pounds.
1 whole green apple Washed and cubed.
2 cloves garlic Minced
1 tsp coconut sugar
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil (divided) I like using the Trader Joe's olive oil spray, super simple!
1/4 cup fresh parsley Washed and chopped
1/4 tsp sea salt

Take your pre-cut butternut squash and place it in a bowl. The squash should be cut in 1-inch cubes. Using a sharp knife, slice up your onions, bacon and apples. Now, add all ingredients to a large bowl and toss. Then, place the ingredients in an air fryer basket and place the air fryer on 375 degrees F and bake for 20 minutes, then toss the ingredients and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the squash has crispy edges and slightly golden brown. You should be able to know if the squash is done by noticing if it is fork tender and you can easily stick a fork in it, The total cook time may vary slightly based on how thick the squash is.

You can also make this recipe in the regular oven if you would prefer. Follow all instructions with the same as above except lay the squash out on a sheet tray. Just like the air fryer version, the cooking time may vary slightly based on how thick and dense the squash cubes are.
