Tips and Tricks for Making Spaghetti Squash in the Air Fryer

The seasonings in this recipe are basic, and this means that your finished squash will work perfectly with your favorite pasta sauces. Feel free to add other seasonings if you like though.
When shopping for a spaghetti squash, look for one that is uniform in color, without spots or bruises, and has a hard, green stalk.
If needed, trim the squash to fit in your air fryer basket. To air fry more than one spaghetti squash, cook them in batches, making sure that you don't layer the squash pieces on top of each other.
Don't skip the oil. A little bit of olive oil keeps the cut side of the squash from sticking to the air fryer basket and lets the edges get nicely browned.
Cooked spaghetti squash can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. I also like to food prep a salad like Cucumber Radish Salad, so pair with this spaghetti squash.
