Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash

How to cut spaghetti squash

1. Wash the spaghetti squash thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt from the skin.
2. Using a fork or a paring knife, make small holes in the spaghetti squash skin.
3. Place it in the microwave. Cook it on high for 4 minutes.
4. Carefully remove the squash from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. With a chef’s knife, slice it lengthwise from top to bottom, right down the middle. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and any loose fibers. Once you've cut and cleaned the spaghetti squash, you can proceed with your chosen cooking method.
