    This simple recipe for air fryer roasted maple delicata squash uses maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon. In this recipe I tell you how to air fry delcious delicata squash. It's so easy!

    Delicata squash is my favorite winter squash because it's so easy to work with. You don't need to peel it and it's so much easier to cut up than acorn squash. I grow delicata every year in my garden.

    If you are interested in growing Delicata the easiest way that takes up the least amount of space is up wire. I get wire concrete panels from the hardware store and grow my plants up that. The plants are easy to start and very hardy in the garden.

    Can I eat the skin of the Delicata squash?

    Yes! The skin of a Delicata squash is soft after it is cooked. You don't need to peel a Delicate squash at all. It makes this squash one of the easier ones to prepare.

    You will but the squash in half, remove the seeds and cut off the ends. Then cut the winter squash into half rounds. I like to mix this recipe up in a large bowl and then pour into my air fryer.

    How can I tell if a Delicata squash is ripe?

    You should not be able to pierce the skin of a Delicata squash that is ripe with your fingernail. The stem should also be tan instead of bright green. If the stem is still bright green the squash likely isn't ready yet.

    You might also be able to tell by the coloring. If the winter squash is a pale cream color it needs more time to mature. A mature Delicata squash should be more yellow and possibly have some orange spots.
