Ingredients
  • 3 slices thick-cut bacon
  • ½ large roasted spaghetti squash (about 4 cups)
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • ½ bunch chives, chopped - reserve some for garnish
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • ½ cup almond or cashew flour
  • 1 Tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil, ghee or bacon fat
  • For serving: Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo
Directions
  1. (If you don’t have leftover spaghetti squash) Preheat the oven to 375 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the squash in half (popping it in the microwave for a minute makes this a bit easier), and place the halves face down on the baking sheet. Cook for about 45-50 minutes, until you can easily pull the spaghetti squash threads with a fork. Give the squash 5-10 minutes to cool while you prepare the bacon.
  2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, until crispy but not burned! Set aside to cool while you make the fritter batter and take the pan off the heat.
  3. Mix the shallots, cashew and coconut flours, eggs, baking soda, onion and garlic powders together in a large bowl. Once the bacon is cool, chop it into bacon bits. Reserve some for topping, and toss the rest with the coconut flour mixture.
  4. Pull all the spaghetti squash threads out of the halves, and use about ½ of the threads to measure 4 cups of squash. Using a kitchen towel (or a lot of paper towels), squeeze the excess moisture out of the squash. Careful - it’s still hot!
  5. Add the squeezed squash to the coconut flour mixture and chives.
  6. Allow the batter to sit for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pull out a large skillet and ¼ cup measure.
  7. Heat a large skillet with 2 Tbsp oil. Once it is simmering, use the ¼ cup measure to spoon fritters into the hot oil. Use the underside of the measuring cup to flatten them out a little to resemble fritters. Cook for about 2 minutes per side.
  8. Serve warm with some Chipotle-Lime Mayo, the chopped chives and bacon, plus your favorite toppings!
