Make your favorite pasta dish with air fryer spaghetti squash. It's delicious, super easy and ready in just minutes. Plus it's a lighter and healthier alternative!
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. (if you have a hard time getting the knife through it simply pierce it several times then place in the microwave on high for 3 minutes. Let cool slightly to make it easier to handle.)
Scoop out the seeds and stringy insides.
Sprinkle salt and pepper all over flesh.
Drizzle all over with olive oil. You can use your fingers to make sure the flesh is completely covered.
Place in your air fryer basket that has been sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray and cook at 390 degrees for 16-18 minutes.
Lift out carefully. You can drain any excess oil or moisture off prior to shredding with a fork. To shred, just drag the fork tines over the flesh and watch it turn into what looks like spaghetti noodles.
Serve with a drizzle of butter or use as the pasta with your favorite marinara.
