Air Fryer, Spaghetti Squash in the Air Fryer
First confession, I wasn’t expecting my kids to love this as much as they did, and second I wasn’t going to add it to the website, because it’s not really much of a recipe, but last night, when I posted pictures of my dinner (I do it every night in my air fryer group, Air Fryer Recipes & Tips, everyone started asking me for the recipe.
So here it is…
It is officially squash season, at least in Philadelphia, as the cold weather is upon on us, and as a mom I try to get my kids, to eat at least one vegetable at dinner, I usually have a salad too, but today I picked up a lovely acorn squash. Squash is a great versatile vegetable that you can do almost anything to, and it usually tastes amazing. If you haven’t tried air-fried or grilled squash you are so missing out.
Squash is cooked differently in all parts of the world, from the Italian who serve it deep-fried, deep flower fritters to Turkey, where they make zucchini pancakes. It can be added to any recipe for a healthier spin on it.
When you are purchasing any type of squash here are some things to be on the lookout for:
- Squash should be firm and shiny skin without blemishes
- Ideally, the steam should be attached.
To store squash:
Keep in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days, longer than that the squash will start to wilt. Squash also can be frozen, in order to freeze, slice, then boil for about 2 minutes, then plunge into cold water. Then seal in an airtight container. Frozen acorn squash can be kept for about one year.
This is a recipe that my mother made when we were children, it was truly the only way, I would eat squash I love it, it’s a wonderful childhood memory, that I was able to pass down to my own children. I hope you and yours enjoy it, as much as I did.
Here are the simple steps, so you can make it in your very own air fryer,
This is the spaghetti squash I used in this recipe.
Cut the squash in half.
Use a spoon and scoop out the seeds.
Use olive oil and coat the inside of the squash and then season with salt and pepper.
Place the squash in the air fryer. Set the temperature to 360 degrees F, for 25-35 minutes (the time will depend on how big your squash is, and the type of air fryer you own)
Plate, serve and enjoy!

This is a great vegetable, it is so versatile, you can use it in so many ways. My favorite is with some butter and some brown sugar. But it is a great substitute for pasta, so the only limitations is your own imagination. It’s a KETO friendly vegetable.
