These fritters make an excellent and filling breakfast or brunch. Why not cook up a batch of them the night before and then just re-heat them in the morning, while you cook some pancetta? Also great with a salad for a light lunch.

Ingredients
Zucchini Fritters
- 1 zucchini, grated
- 2 free-range eggs
- 2 tbs coconut flour
- 2 tsp ghee or coconut oil
- 6 strips free-range bacon, free from sugar and nitrates
- Salt and pepper
Smoky Salsa
Method
- Squeeze the excess moisture out of the grated zucchini. You can do this easily by grabbing a handful of it and squeezing it. Liquid will escape, so do this over the sink or a bowl.
- Place the zucchini in a large bowl. Add in the eggs and coconut flour. Mix to combine. If this mixture is too wet, add in a little bit more coconut flour. If the mixture is too dry, add in a drop of water. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large non-stick frying pan, heat over a medium heat and melt the ghee or coconut oil. To cook the fritters, add in a large spoonful of batter. Repeat until you have filled the pan ensuring you have left room to flip the fritters.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side and then flip, and cook on the other side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Melt some more ghee or coconut oil in the pan and add the bacon rashers, cook to your liking then remove from the pan.
To Serve
- Place the fritters on a plate with a side of bacon and a dollop of smoky salsa.

My Dietician refers to this site and provided me with a list of foods acceptable on the restricted bi-phasic diet- which indicated I am only allowed 1/4 cup of zucchini on this phase. This recipe calls for 1 whole zucchini for a meal which would exceed this amount. What are your thoughts.
Hi Michelle
I’m not sure which site you have been referred to but the current guidelines published by Dr Nirala Jacobi (creator of the SIBO Bi Phasic Diet) allow 3/4 cup of zucchini per serve for the Restricted Phase. You can get the most up to date version of the SIBO Bi Phasic Diet from her website here. This recipe uses 1 zucchini for 2 serves, so 1/2 a zucchini per serving, which is within the 3/4 cup allowance.
Kind regards

What’s the method for the salsa?
Hi Julia
If you click the blue ‘salsa’ it will take you to the salsa recipe on the website.

Do you have a suggestion for a replacement for eggs?
I really don’t think this recipe will hold together if you use an egg replacer. If you do try it, let me know how it goes.
How many serves is this recipe?
Hi Helen
I’ve fixed the recipe as the serving size information had disappeared. You can see that at the top of the recipe.
Rebecca
what do you do with the bacon?
Hi Jen
Cook it to your liking and serve it on the side.
Kind regards
