Discover how to perfectly cook air fryer spaghetti squash with this easy recipe. Learn the secrets to achieving a delicious and healthy meal in minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 (1.4 kg) spaghetti squash
- 5 ml olive oil
- 25 ml sea salt
- 6 ml ground black pepper
- 6 ml smoked paprika
Instructions
- With a sharp knife, create a line of small cuts along the length of the squash. To make slicing easier, microwave the entire squash on high for approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Move it to a cutting board and slice it in half lengthwise, following the dotted line as a guide. Cover one half with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for another meal.
- Remove the seeds and pulp from the remaining half and throw them away. Apply olive oil evenly over the squash’s surface, and then sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Set your air fryer to 360°F (180°C). Position the half of the squash with the skin facing down in the air fryer basket. Cook until the squash becomes soft, which should take around 18 to 20 minutes.
- Move the cooked squash to a plate and use a fork to separate it into “noodles.”
Notes
- Remove all seeds and pulp from the squash before cooking to prevent a bitter taste.
- Adjust seasonings to taste by adding more or less salt, pepper, or paprika.
- For a hint of charred flavor, broil squash noodles in the oven after air frying.
