Notes

• Kabocha squash- learn how to find, chop, freeze, etc. this ingredient by viewing myLow FODMAP Sausage and Fall Vegetables post.
• Squash skin - can be eaten along with the flesh of the squash or can be chopped off per one's personal taste. It is so tender once cooked that I just eat it along with the flesh, but some people may prefer not to do so.
• Air fryer - depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to air fry the squash in more than one batch. Keep cooked batches covered or store in a warm oven to keep warm while subsequent batches cook. Cooking times may vary by air fryer.
