Instructions
Slice a spaghetti squash in half lengthwise.
Scrape out the seeds and center of the spaghetti squash.
Poke holes in the back of one half of the spaghetti squash.
Place the half of spaghetti squash face down in a microwave safe dish with about an inch of water at the bottom.
Cook the spaghetti squash in the microwave for 10 minutes.
Let the squash cool for a few minutes, and then remove, turn over, and scrape out the spaghetti squash in strands into a mixing bowl.
Cook the other half of the spaghetti squash in the microwave as described above, and add the cooked squash to the mixing bowl.
To the squash, add in 2 cloves of garlic.
Pour ½ a tablespoon of cumin and ½ a tablespoon of chili powder into the mixing bowl with the squash.
Add salt and pepper to taste to the mixing bowl.
Mix in 2 beaten eggs.
Sprinkle in ½ cup of cornstarch, and stir to combine.
In a skillet, heat a thin layer of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is heated, make the squash mixture into small flat cakes, and place them into the heated oil, careful to squeeze out any excess moisture before doing so.
Cook the squash cakes for a few minutes on each side until browned and crispy.
Remove the squash cakes to a paper towel lined plate.
Serve hot with sour cream and fresh chopped garlic chives.
