Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash image

This is the easiest and fastest way I have found to cook a spaghetti squash. Cutting them in half was intimidating for me until I discovered the microwave trick, which makes cutting them in half a breeze.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash
1 teaspoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, make a dotted line lengthwise around the entire squash. Place whole squash in the microwave and cook on full power for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut the squash in half lengthwise, using the dotted line as a guide. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another use.
  • Spoon pulp and seeds out of remaining half and discard. Brush olive oil over all of the flesh and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash half skin side-down in the basket. Cook for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer to a dish and fluff with a fork to create 'noodles'.
