Our favorite air fryer is the Philips Premium Airfryer XXL. It has an extra large basket that is perfect for cooking for your entire family. It also doesn’t need to be preheated so you save time cooking. It’s ideal for this air fryer spaghetti squash recipe, especially if you have a larger squash because you can just cut it in half, instead of quartering it.
Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash Recipe Tips:
+ You want to make sure you start checking your spaghetti squash around the 25 minute mark so it doesn’t get too done. The timing will depend on how large your spaghetti squash is and what type of air fryer you have.
+ You’ll know your spaghetti squash is full cooked when it easily “shreds” away from the flesh turning into “noodles”.
+ You can add additional seasonings like garlic powder, dried herbs or taco blend depending on how you’re using your squash.
