Ingredients for Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| spaghetti squash | 1 |
| olive oil or avocado oil | 1 tbsp |
| salt | ½ tsp |
| ground black pepper | ¼ tsp |
| garlic powder | ¼ tsp |

Preparation for Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the spaghetti squash by washing and drying it. After that, cut it in half lengthwise (through the stem) and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. This should be done very gently.
- After that, season the interior of the spaghetti squash with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Finally, drizzle the spaghetti squash with approximately a tablespoon of olive oil. After that, use your fingers to distribute the coating evenly.
- Put the squash that has been seasoned in the air fryer with the sliced side facing up.
- Fry the squash in an air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for a total of 25–30 minutes, or until the squash is soft when pierced with a fork.
- After removing the squash from the air fryer in a careful manner, use two forks to gently scrape the interior of the squash while simultaneously fluffing the noodles.
- Parmesan cheese that has been freshly grated, butter, and/or minced parsley may be sprinkled on top.
- You can also use the spaghetti squash noodles in lieu of traditional pasta when making your go-to bolognese or sauce dish.
- These turkey meatballs and this chicken bolognese are two of my favorite keto dishes.
