Use your air fryer for the easiest and fastest way to cook a spaghetti squash. Cutting them in half was intimidating for me until I discovered the microwave hack, which makes prepping a breeze!
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash , 3 pound
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.13 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.13 teaspoons smoked paprika
Instructions
-
1
Using a sharp knife, make a dotted line lengthwise around the entire squash. Place whole squash in the microwave and cook on full power to help it cut more easily, about 3 to 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.

Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash half skin side-down in the basket. Cook until squash is tender, about 18 to 20 minutes.

The garlic olive oil is the secret here. Try to find garlic-infused olive oil; I found it at a local olive oil producer.
