Corn & Bacon Zucchini Fritters
Yield: 12 fritters
Prep time: 30 MinCook time: 5 MinTotal time: 35 Min
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, shredded
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 5 slices cooked bacon
- 1/3 cup sweet corn
- 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 green onion stalks, chopped
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- sea salt & black pepper to taste
- coconut oil, ghee, or bacon fat for frying
Instructions
- grate the zucchini into a colander and add salt; toss and combine. let zucchini sit for 20-30 minutes. place a bowl underneath the colander to collect the moisture that is drawn out. the less moisture, the more crispy your fritters will turn out!
- while the zucchini is sweating, make the bacon by frying it in your skillet or microwaving it, your choice. if using the skillet, reserve the bacon fat to fry the fritters in. if microwaving the bacon, add a tsp of coconut oil to your pan for every new batch. once the bacon is cool, chop or crumble it.
- add zucchini to a cup towel, cheese cloth, or nut milk bag, and squeeze/wring out as much of the moisture as you can. use your muscles!
- in a large mixing bowl, add zucchini, flour, powder, green onion, egg, bacon, seasonings, salt & peper
- heat your pan to medium heat
- scoop about a tbsp of mixture onto your spoon and add it to your pan. press it down to about 1/2 in thickness and repeat as many times as you can as long as they aren’t touching.
- cook the first side about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip! cook opposite side for about 2 min, lowering the heat just a little if need be.
Notes:
TIP: adjust the heat between batches to avoid burning the fritters! also, coat pan with no-stick cooking spay every new batch.
