I’ve always said that I’m not a good cook, but I have to admit I love to bake. In fact, I love baking so much that I recently had the opportunity to try out a new air fryer that I had not tried before. You see, I’m always looking for unique ways to use up that butternut squash that I love so much.

It is also known as air frying, air poaching, and oven frying. Air frying is a method of cooking foods without any additional oil or fat. This is done by placing the food in an air fryer and placing it in an air-tight container. The air fryer circulates hot air around the food, which cooks the food without using any oil or fat.
