BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH FRITTERS
These crispy loaded fritters are perfect for parties. Baking them instead of frying cuts down on labor (and oil splatters). Be sure to squeeze as much of the liquid out of the spaghetti squash and onion mixture as possible--moisture is the enemy of crispiness.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange squash halves, cut-sides down, on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until very tender when pierced with a fork, about 50 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, place squash halves, cut-sides down, in a microwavable baking dish. Pierce the squash shells with a fork. Add 1/2 to 3/4 inch of water to the dish. Cover and microwave on High until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.)
- Using a fork, scrape out the squash flesh (spaghetti-like strands) to equal 3 packed cups. (Reserve any remaining squash for another use.)
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; brush with 1 tablespoon oil and set aside. Working in batches, place the squash strands and onion in the center of a clean towel; squeeze firmly over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible. Combine the squeezed squash mixture, egg yolk, baking powder, pepper, salt and 1/2 cup scallions in a large bowl. Whisk egg white in a small bowl until frothy; stir into the squash mixture.
- Scoop about 3 tablespoonfuls of the squash mixture into a mound on the prepared baking sheet; flatten into a 3-inch round using a spatula. Repeat the process with the remaining squash mixture, making 8 fritters total spaced 2 inches apart.
- Brush the tops of the fritters evenly with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Bake until crisp and golden, 10 to 12 minutes per side. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle the fritters evenly with cheese. Continue baking until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Top the fritters evenly with sour cream, crumbled bacon and the remaining 1/4 cup scallions.

Steps:
- Place the squash in a large bowl. If it's too moist, wrap it in some paper towels and squeeze out the excess liquid.
- Add the arrowroot starch/flour, salt, green onion, and bacon and stir to combine well.
- Whisk the eggs in a small bowl, then add them to the squash mixture and stir to combine.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the pan, and when it's hot, spoon the squash mixture to form fritters of your desired size; 1/4 cup per fritter works well.
- When the fritters are crispy and browned on one side, about 5 minutes, use a spatula to flip them and continue cooking on the other side until crisped, about 5 minutes longer. Serve hot.
