INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Spaghetti Squash:
- 2 Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half, brush olive oil on the cut sides, and season with salt and pepper. Place the halves face down on parchment paper. Bake for 23-25 minutes, then remove and let cool.
- 3 Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and orange peppers. Sauté for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
- 4 Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and continue sautéing for another 2 minutes.
- 5 Using a fork, scrape out the spaghetti squash strands into the pan with the sautéed vegetables.
- 6 Add the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and FlavorGod Cajun Lovers Seasoning to the pan. Sauté everything for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 7 Plate the spaghetti squash mixture and garnish with chopped basil, Italian parsley, sliced kalamata olives, and feta cheese if desired.
- 8 Pickerel:
- 9 Place parchment paper in the air fryer basket.
- 10 Place the pickerel fillets in a ziplock bag. Drizzle with olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Sprinkle with garlic powder, FlavorGod Cajun Lovers Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Close the bag and massage the seasonings onto the fish, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- 11 Transfer the seasoned fish to the parchment paper in the air fryer basket.
- 12 Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the fish for approximately 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- 13 Once cooked, remove the pickerel fillets from the air fryer and serve alongside the spaghetti squash.
- 14 Notes: The FlavorGod Cajun Lovers Seasoning can be used to season both the pickerel and the spaghetti squash, adding a delicious kick of flavor to the dish. Adjust the seasoning amount according to personal preference.
