I’m always looking for unique savory breakfast options and this one sounds delicious, gets veggies in at breakfast and you could make them and have them ready to have the next morning too! -Lauren Dunaway

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 – 3 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil (for cooking the fritters)

  • ½ cup cooked, coarsely chopped bacon

  • 2 – 3 medium zucchini, grated (approx. 4 cups)

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped onion

  • 3 green onions, finely chopped (reserve 1 for serving)

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped (optional)

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 2 tbsp gluten-free flour (or flour of choice)

  • 2 tbsp arrowroot powder

  • ½ tsp sea salt and freshly ground pepper(to taste)

  • 1 drop Black Pepper Vitality

  • 2 drops Lemon Vitality

  • Greek yogurt or sour cream (for serving)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large bowl mix all the ingredients together by hand except the cooking oil, reserved green onion and Greek yogurt or sour cream.

  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan on medium high heat and add approx. 1 tbsp of the cooking oil and let it heat and melt.

  3. Using a tablespoon scoop a heaping spoonful of the mixture and place in the pan and gently press down to form a patty and repeat. Do not over crown the pan as you will need to cook the fritters in at least 2 – 3 batches depending on the size of your pan. Add more oil for each new batch you cook and watch the temperature as you may need to reduce it a little.

  4. Cook for approx. 2 – 3 minutes until golden and then gently turn them over using a spatula and continue cooking 2 – 3 minutes until golden brown. You may need to reduce the heat a little and be careful not to burn.

  5. Place the cooked fritters on a wire rack or a plate or baking try lined with paper/kitchen towels to drain and gently cover with baking paper to keep warm while you cook the rest of the fritters. You can also place them in a warm oven until ready to serve.

Serve the fritters on a platter or individual plates topped with a little Greek yogurt and sliced green onions!
