Bacon and Spaghetti Squash Fritters with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

These fritters are a unique and tasty way to enjoy bacon and spaghetti squash. The crispy bacon adds a salty crunch to the sweet spaghetti squash, and the roasted red pepper sauce brings a tangy, savory element to the dish. Perfect for a breakfast or brunch treat!

Ingredients

• 1 medium spaghetti squash
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1 red bell pepper, roasted and peeled
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash cut side down on the baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
3. Let the squash cool slightly, then use a fork to scrape out the flesh into a large bowl.
4. Add the crumbled bacon, parmesan cheese, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parsley to the bowl with the spaghetti squash. Mix until well combined.
5. Form the mixture into small fritters and place them on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. While the fritters are baking, prepare the roasted red pepper sauce. In a blender, combine the roasted red pepper, garlic, olive oil, and broth. Blend until smooth.
7. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve the bacon and spaghetti squash fritters hot, with the roasted red pepper sauce drizzled on top.
9. Enjoy!
