Ingredients
- 1 large spaghetti squash
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 garlic cloves grated
- 1 teaspoon fresh herbs (such as thyme, oregano or basil)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the spaghetti squash by slicing the ends off and then halving the squash lengthwise. Using a large spoon, remove the seeds from the open side of the squash.
- Place the spaghetti squash in the air fryer basket, sides up. Drizzle each half with 1 tablespoon of oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the squash for 20 minutes in the air fryer at 360 degrees F.
- While the squash is cooking, mix the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs and remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl.
- Remove the squash from the air fryer when finished cooking and fluff the inside of the squash with a fork. Add ½ cup of mozzarella cheese to each side and mix it into the squash, then sprinkle each half with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Return the squash to the air fryer and cook at 360 degrees F for 2 additional minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the breadcrumbs are golden.
