Air frying spaghetti squash is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Cut your spaghetti squash in half, length wise, using a very sharp knife. Then scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
Drizzle olive oil all over the squash flesh and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place your squash in your air fryer basket, cut side up. Cook at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.

If you have a large air fryer, that’s great! You can cook both sides of the squash at the same time! However, if you’re like me and have a smaller air fryer, don’t worry, you can just cook one at a time. It takes a bit longer, but the good news is the squash stays hot awhile after you cook it.

After cooking the squash, fluff it with a fork and serve as you choose!
