Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pound spaghetti squash [Note 1]
  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half longways with a sharp knife. You can microwave your squash for a few minutes first to make it easier to cut.
  • Scoop all the seeds out of the inside of teh squash with a large spoon and discard.
  • Place the halves of the spaghetti squash in the air fryer basket. Drizzle it with oil, and sprinkle the seasonings over it.
  • Air fry spaghetti squash for 18 minutes at 380°F/ 190°C until fork tender (a fork easily goes through the flesh of the squash).
  • Carefully remove the squash from the air fryer (it will be hot!). Then, holding the squash with a pot holder, use a fork to scrape out the flesh into long strands for serving.

Notes

  1. Buy pre-cut if you can, or ask your grocer to cut it in half for you.
