How to Cook Spaghetti Squash in Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 whole spaghetti squash (raw squash)

1 TBS olive oil

black pepper (optional to taste)

garlic powder (optional to taste)

onion powder (optional to taste)

italian seasoning (optional to taste)

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. On a cutting board, carefully slice squash in lengthwise halves (through the stem) using a sharp knife, and use a large spoon or another simple kitchen tool to scrape out the spaghetti squash seeds. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the inside of the squash, followed by the seasonings you choose on the open side. Use your fingers to coat the halves of the squash evenly. Place the seasoned spaghetti squash halves in the air fryer, cut-side up. Place each in the air fryer basket, and depending on the size of the squash, the cooking time is about 25-30 minutes at 350°F. If the spaghetti squash boats are still firm, cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until the squash is fork tender.

Remove the squash from the air fryer and place it on parchment paper. Allow it to cool to room temperature, and then use two forks to lightly scrape the middle of the squash. Continue until the long strands begin to look like spaghetti noodles and have a stringy texture. The spaghetti-like strands might be too wet to use, so you can place them on a paper towel to remove excess moisture. The leftover spaghetti squash can be stored in an airtight container.
