Drain spaghetti and place in a large bowl. Add tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, garlic salt, pepper, oregano, basil, brown sugar, grated mozzarella, and shredded parmesan. Toss all ingredients together until well combined.

Spray a baking dish such as a round cake pan that fits in your air fryer with cooking spray.

Transfer pasta mixture into baking dish and top with sliced pepperoni, sliced back olives (optional), and a little more shredded cheese.

Place the dish in the air fryer basket and set the time for 10 minutes, at 350 degrees.
