2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. While it heats, halve each acorn squash through the stem end and scoop out the seeds and stringy fibers with a spoon.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until combined. Brush the mixture evenly over the cut surfaces and into the cavity of each squash half.
