Air Fryer Paleo Breakfast Burrito with Roasted Butternut Squash
This Air Fryer Paleo Breakfast Burrito with Roasted Butternut Squash is a quick and easy way to start your day. The butternut squash is roasted in the air fryer until tender and browned, then combined with eggs, bacon, onion, and bell pepper. The entire mixture is then cooked in the air fryer until set. The result is a delicious and satisfying breakfast that is also paleo-friendly.
I've always been a fan of breakfast burritos, but I've never been a fan of the tortillas that they're typically wrapped in. They're often too thick and doughy, and they can make the burrito difficult to eat. A few years ago, I started experimenting with making breakfast burritos in the air fryer, and I've never looked back. The air fryer cooks the burritos evenly and quickly, and it gives them a crispy exterior and a tender interior. I've tried a variety of different fillings for my air fryer breakfast burritos, but my favorite is this one with roasted butternut squash. The butternut squash adds a sweetness and creaminess to the burrito, and it pairs perfectly with the eggs, bacon, onion, and bell pepper. This recipe is also paleo-friendly, so it's a great option for people who are following a paleo diet.
