Notes

  • If you have trouble slicing your spaghetti squash in half, place it on a plate and microwave it for 2 to 3 minutes to soften it.
  • Feel free to use other desired seasonings.
  • Spaghetti squash is done when its flesh can be easily shredded with two forks.
  • All air fryers are different.  Cooking time may vary slightly.
  • This method yields a crispy "al dente" style spaghetti squash.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • I do not suggest freezing leftovers.
