Ingredients

2 spaghetti squash
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons pure maple syrup
4 teaspoons brown sugar
sea salt and black pepper to taste
4 small pads unsalted butter optional

Instructions

Oven Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prep your spaghetti squash: cut each squash in half lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop out the seeds and any dark membranes.
In each squash half, add 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and a small pinch each of salt and black pepper. Using a brush, brush the insides of the squash with the maple mixture. So the insides are coated.
Take a baking sheet pan, and place parchment paper on top. Place each squash half on the baking sheet, cut side-up. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the inside of the squash is fork-tender.
Add a small pad of butter to each squash while it is still warm (optional but highly recommended). Serve warm from the oven.

Air Fryer Instructions

Follow steps 2 & 3 above, then bake the spaghetti squash at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. You may only be able to fit 2 halves at a time, so you will need to cook the squash in two batches.
