Serving Size 4

Ingredients

  • 2 pound spaghetti squash small to medium size depends on the size of your air fryer
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • garlic powder optional
  • paprika optional
  • crushed red pepper optional
  • Italian seasoning optional

Instructions

  • If your spaghetti squash is slightly too big for your air fryer, place on a cutting board and cut the ends off of your spaghetti squash.
  • Then slice your spaghetti squash in half longways with a sharp knife – do this carefully because it will be hard. If you want, you can microwave your squash for a few minutes to make it easier to cut.
  • 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 it with 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 18 minutes at 380F. You’ll know the spaghetti squash is done when a spoon or fork easily goes through 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 and scrap out the flesh into long strands.
  • Mix it around with a fork to evenly spread the seasonings. Top with parsley.
