  Braverman and Kazhdan proposed a conjecture, later refined by Ng\^o and
broadened to the framework of spherical varieties by Sakellaridis, that asserts
that affine spherical varieties admit Schwartz spaces, Fourier transforms, and
Poisson summation formulae. The first author in joint work with B.~Liu and
later the first two authors proved these conjectures for certain spherical
varieties $Y$ built out of triples of quadratic spaces. However, in these works
the Fourier transform was only proven to exist. In the present paper we give,
for the first time, an explicit formula for the Fourier transform on $Y.$ We
also prove that it is unitary in the nonarchimedean case. As preparation for
this result, we give explicit formulae for Fourier transforms on
Braverman-Kazhdan spaces attached to maximal parabolic subgroups of split,
simple, simply connected groups. These Fourier transforms are of independent
interest, for example, from the point of view of analytic number theory.
