Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash 2-3 pounds
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or pecorino romano
salt & pepper to taste
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees.
Cut off the ends of the spaghetti squash and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Brush the olive oil onto the squash, covering the entire cut surface area.
Place the spaghetti squash in the air fryer side by side with the cut side up. If necessary, trim the long sides of the squash down if needed to fit.
Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the squash is fork tender. Remove the spaghetti squash from the air fryer and let cool enough to handle.
Season with salt and pepper and rake down the sides of the squash using a fork to create spaghetti-like strands. Add the parmesan or pecorino cheese and toss to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
