Description
This air fryer spaghetti squash makes a healthy, low-carb alternative to pasta. It’s so easy to make, with a few ingredients, and ready in 25 minutes. It comes out perfectly browned, caramelized and fork-tender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step: Cut a little of both ends. Place the spaghetti squash on a kitchen towel and cut lengthwise into halves. Scoop the seeds and membranes out with a spoon and discard.
- Step: Brush the cut halves with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- Step: Preheat Air fryer to 350°F. Place the spaghetti squash halves in the Air fryer basket.
- Step: Air fryer for 25 to 30 minutes until browned on top and fork tender.
- Step: Remove the squash from the Air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Step: Fluff with a fork to seperate the strands. Serve with your choice of sauce and cheese.
Notes
Cook on low – Cooking at higher heat like 400F would leave the top burnt and flesh undercooked. To avoid this, cook the squash at 350F until it’s tender. Store – leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat – in the microwave or air fry at 350F for a few minutes until warm.
