Inspired by the Three Sisters Diet in Nicoya, Costa Rica

For this dish, I’ve been experimenting with my brand new Air Fryer, which has been life-changing in terms of reducing cooking time. I’ve found that it has improved my overall cooking experience, which is great!
I enjoy preparing quick, simple, healthy, and tasty meals.
If, like me, you don’t enjoy baking or spending more time in the kitchen than necessary when you could be doing something else, you may appreciate an Air Fryer!
I prepped the squash, air-fried them for 12 min following the instructions, heated up the beans and corn with tomato paste and seasoning, and cooked the prawns. That was it.
If you don’t have an Air Fryer, simply roast the squash for 30-35 min.
Give it a try! It’s quick, easy, and healthy!
