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 , 3 pound
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
  • 0.13 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 0.13 teaspoons smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    Spoon pulp and seeds out of remaining half and discard. Brush olive oil over all of the flesh and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a dish and fluff with a fork to create "noodles".
