Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash Directions

- Cook for 20 minutes. For larger squash, add extra time.
- Remove from air fryer carefully (outside skin will be extremely hot). Use an oven mitt to hold the squash while using a fork to spin and gently twirl strands of spaghetti squash from the sides. Use a spoon to scoop remaining squash.
