How I Make Perfect Spaghetti Squash


Especially in the fall, spaghetti squash is one of my favorite things to meal prep. I love all squash really, but spaghetti squash is so much fun! I’ve cooked quite a few of them in my day, and I’ve discovered some tips & tricks to get those perfect “noodles” every time. Read on to hear them & try it for yourself!

One of the simplest meals to make using spaghetti squash is just to saute it with some marinara sauce & ground turkey or chicken sausage. I like to have a piece of garlic toast on the side for some carbohydrates, too. You could also bake it into a casserole dish, like this one. The list goes on & on!

To make your squash:

  1. Cut spaghetti squash in half & place face down on a baking pan or in air fryer basket.

  2. Cook.

    • Oven: Cook on 425°F JUST until the skin starts to give & feel a little bit soft. Any further than that, your ‘spaghetti’ will be more like mush. (It usually takes about 30 minutes)

    • Air fryer: Cook on 400°F for 15 minutes.

  3. Let the squash cool completely & then de-seed the middle. (Everything should come out in one scoop!)

  4. “Shred” the squash with a fork to make your spaghetti.

  5. You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. I like to put a paper towel in it as well to soak up any extra moisture.


    I don’t add any oil or seasoning until I’m reheating the squash in a pan to eat (rather than just meal prepping it). That way, I can essentially make it any flavor I want with whatever additions I have on hand! 



Perfect Air Fried Corn-on-the-Cob

As if I needed another way to use my air fryer…

I don’t think I’ve ever actually bought corn-on-the-cob when shopping for my own groceries. It was only something I’d have at home when one of my parents made it. The process of cooking it was just too unappealing to me, and frozen corn seemed so much easier.

BUT, then I saw these corn on sale 8 for $1, and there’s no way this bargain hunter is going to pass up a deal like that. Now I’ve been buying corn every week!


I’ve been using all of my different Eat Clean Essentials seasonings to make different flavor combinations, and I have yet to find one that isn’t worth sharing! I’ll list a few of my favorites below, and they can all be used with this basic recipe. There’s SO many more possibilities though, so be sure to check out this spice collection and use code ‘KYLA15’ for a discount!

(P.S. I do not make money from this, it’s just for you to use!)
