Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash about 3 pounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
  2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard (or save for roasting).
  3. Brush the cut side of the squash with oil and season with salt & pepper.
  4. Place cut side up in the air fryer and cook 25-30 minutes or until tender and the strands separate easily with a fork.
  5. Once cooked, run a fork along the strands of the squash to separate.
  6. Toss with butter if desired or season with additional salt and pepper.

Notes

  • Spaghetti squash seeds can be saved and cooked like pumpkin seeds.
  • Cook time can vary slightly based on the size of the squash.
  • Once the strands are separated, they can be topped with your favorite meat sauce and placed back into the squash shells. Top them with mozzarella cheese and air fryer until browned and bubbly.
  • Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze leftovers in zippered bags for up to 6 months. Let thaw at room temperature before using.
