  • Using a sharp knife, make a dotted line lengthwise around the entire squash. Place whole squash in the microwave and cook on full power for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut the squash in half 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 and pepper.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Place spaghetti squash half skin side-down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and fluff with a fork to resemble noodles. Finely chop noodles and place in a bowl. Add bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and form into tots.
  • Increase the temperature of the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place tots in the air fryer basket and spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 5 minutes. Shake and cook until desired crispness, about 5 minutes more.
