Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Air Fryer Liner, optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Take the spaghetti squash, and carefully slice it in half along the long side of the squash. Scoop out seeds, and discard/compost them.
  • Brush the inside of the spaghetti squash with olive oil. Sprinkle the salt and pepper in each half of the squash. Line the air fryer with a parchment paper liner (optional, helps with clean-up).
  • Place them in the air fryer, and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Squash should be lightly browned on the outside, and fork-tender on the inside.
  • Using a fork, scrape around the squash (from one side of the middle to the other side) to pull the strands free. Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite sauce.
