Recipe Ingredients: (Makes about 1 Dozen Fritters) ​

Prep Time: 10 Minutes (Not including time to cook spaghetti Squash) Total Time: 25 Minutes:​

  • 3 cups cooked spaghetti squash, strands separated (from 1 large squash)​
  • 1/3 cup of arrowroot strach/flour​
  • ½ 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​

Recipe Directions:​

  1. Place the squash in a large bowl. If it’s too moist, wrap it in some paper towels and squeeze out the access liquid​
  2. Add the arrowroot starch/flour, salt green onion, and bacon and stir to combine well​
  3. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl, then add them to the squash mixture and stir to combine​
  4. 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; ¼ cup per fritter works well​
  5. 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.​​

A few variations to the recipe: ​

  • Make it a meal! Mix some already cooked chicken into the fritters and you a delightful one-dish supper ​
  • You can also add about a tablespoon of hot sauce to the mixture for tangy Buffalo-style fritters​
