Is squash good in the air fryer?

Yes. Air frying spaghetti squash caramelizes it to a delicious golden brown on the outside and makes it soft and flavorful on the inside.

How long does it take to cook squash in the air fryer?

This recipe cooks the spaghetti squash at 350°F for 30 minutes. This cooks the squash all the way through so that it is tender, not raw and crunchy on the inside. The lower temperature also prevents the outer squash from burning as the inner flesh cooks.
