Yield Makes about 1 dozen fritters

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups cooked spaghetti squash, strands separated (from 1 large squash)
1/3 cup arrowroot starch/flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 green onion, sliced
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 large eggs
1 to 2 tablespoons coconut oil or cooking fat of your choice

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.
