Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash Dish.
Step 1
Begin by taking a sharp knife and gently scoring a dotted line lengthwise around the entire spaghetti squash.
Step 2
This simple step will make cutting the squash much easier.
Step 3
Next, place the whole squash in the microwave and heat it on high for about 3 to 5 minutes to soften it just enough for slicing.
Step 4
Once softened, transfer the squash to a cutting board and carefully cut it in half lengthwise, using the dotted line as your guide.
Step 5
Wrap one half in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for a future culinary adventure.
Step 6
Now, scoop out the seeds and pulp from the remaining half and discard them.
Step 7
Brush the flesh with a generous drizzle of olive oil, then season it with sea salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for that extra flavor kick.
Step 8
Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) and place the squash half, cut side down, in the basket.
Step 9
Cook for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and fragrant.
Step 10
Once it's done, transfer the squash to a serving dish and use a fork to fluff the flesh, transforming it into delightful noodle-like strands that are perfect for your favorite sauce or toppings.
Step 11
Enjoy your deliciously healthy creation!.
