Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash
• 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.125 teaspoon smoked paprika

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Spoon pulp and seeds out of remaining half and discard. Brush olive oil over all of the flesh and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, make a dotted line lengthwise around the entire squash. Place whole squash in the microwave and cook on full power to help it cut more easily, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut the squash in half lengthwise, using the dotted line as a guide. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another use.

Step 3

Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash half skin side-down in the basket. Cook until squash is tender, about 18 to 20 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer to a dish and fluff with a fork to create "noodles".
