Air Fryer Squash Noodles

Using a sharp knife, make a dotted line lengthwise around the entire squash. Microwave the whole squash on full power for 3 to 5 minutes to soften it up. 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.

Scoop out pulp and seeds from the remaining half and discard. Brush olive oil over the flesh, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C). Place the squash half skin side-down in the basket and cook for 18 to 20 minutes until tender.

Transfer the cooked noodles to a dish, fluff with a fork to create 'noodles', and serve.
