Ingredients

  • 1 large Spaghetti Squash
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
  • Garlic Powder to taste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • If your air fryer requires preheating, do so now to 370°F.
  • Using a sharp chef's knife, carefully cut the ends off the spaghetti squash then cut it in half, lengthwise.

  • Use a spoon to scoop out the stringy flesh and seeds (save them for roasting!). Careful not to cut into the actual flesh of the squash (Honestly, mine should have been cleaner than what the photos show - that stringy part should all be taken out as well).

  • Place the squash halves onto the baking sheet that came with the air fryer (or in the air fryer basket) flesh side up.

  • Using a fork, scrape the interiors of the squash until you get spaghetti like strands. Do this all over the insides of the squash until it's all fluffed out.
