Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash (about 2 lbs)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
optional seasonings (see notes)

Instructions

Microwave spaghetti squash whole for 3 to 5 minutes to soften and make it easier to cut. Cool anbd place spaghetti squash on a cutting board and cut the ends off. Cut in half the longway with a sharp knife. Scoop all the seeds out with a large spoon from the inside of the squash and discard.
Next place the halves of the squash in the air fryer basket and then drizzle with the oil and spices. If you have to put the second half of spaghetti squash in sideways oil and season it before putting it in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 16 to 20 minutes at 375F. You’ll know the spaghetti squash is done when a fork can easily pierce the flesh of the squash.
Carefully remove the squash from the air fryer because it will be hot. Hold onto the squash with a pot holder or towel and scrap out the flesh into long spaghetti strands in a bowl. Mix it with a fork to evenly spread the seasonings. Top with more seasonings, melted butter or your sauce of choice.
