Ingredients

1 medium-sized spaghetti squash
Olive oil optional
Salt and pepper optional

Instructions

Wash the spaghetti squash thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Next, place it in the air fryer at 375 for about 30 minutes. This will soften it up enough to cut easily.
Remove it from the air fryer oven. You can let it cool a little bit or just grab it with a pot holder and cut it in half lengthwide.
Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and the stringy inner membrane from both halves of the squash. You can discard the seeds or save them for roasting later, similar to pumpkin seeds.
Lightly drizzle the inside of the squash halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. This step is optional but can enhance the flavor. Also, you can season with some of our great spaghetti squash ideas.
Place the prepared spaghetti squash halves cut-side down on the air fryer basket or tray of your Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven. Make sure they fit comfortably without overcrowding the oven.
Air fry the spaghetti squash at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 15-20 more minutes. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your squash and the specific model of your Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven. The squash is done when the flesh is tender and easily separates into spaghetti-like strands with a fork.
