  • Using a sharp knife, make a dotted line lengthwise around the entire squash. Place whole squash in the microwave and cook on full power to help it cut more easily, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut the squash in half lengthwise, using the dotted line as a guide. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another use.
  • Spoon pulp and seeds out of remaining half and discard. Brush olive oil over all of the flesh and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash half skin side-down in the basket. Cook until squash is tender, about 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer to a dish and fluff with a fork to create "noodles".
