Easy Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.13 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.13 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Use a sharp knife to create a dotted line lengthwise around the entire spaghetti squash. Microwave the whole squash on full power for 3-5 minutes to soften it for easier cutting. Transfer to a cutting board and carefully cut the squash in half lengthwise, following your dotted line. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for later.
2. Remove and discard the pulp and seeds from the remaining half of the squash. Brush the flesh generously with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place the spaghetti squash half skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
4. Transfer the cooked spaghetti squash to a serving dish and use a fork to fluff the flesh, creating spaghetti-like "noodles".
