Squash Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized yellow squash, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oat flour
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ cup coconut oil
Directions
Mix grated squash with salt and place in a mesh strainer, place over a bowl and let sit. After 20 minutes press as much water out of the squash as you can. You want it to be as dry as possible.
Mix together all other ingredients except for the coconut oil, in a large bowl.
Separate mixture into 4 sections and form into thin patties.
Heat coconut oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the patties in the oil for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove patties from skillet, pat dry with paper towels and allow to cool on a wire rack to preserve crispiness.
Carrot Bacon
Ingredients
- 2 medium sized carrots
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions
Using a peeler, remove the outermost skin from the carrots. Once finished, hold the carrot in one hand, and peel ribbons off the carrot by pressing down firmly with the peeler. Do this to both carrots, you should have about a cup of these when you are finished.
Mix all ingredients together, and lightly sauté carrot mixture in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until the carrots start to get brown edges.
Poached Eggs
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Poach the eggs by filling a small sauce pan up ⅔ of the way with water and bring to a boil. One at a time, crack egg into a ladle (for ease of placing into the water), reduce water to a simmer and carefully place egg into the water. Let cook for about 4 minutes or until done, and remove from water with a slotted spoon. Top egg with a pinch of salt and pepper.
