5 from 2 votes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups riced broccoli
  • ½ cup shredded zucchini
  • 2 slices of uncooked sugar free bacon, very finely chopped (I use a food processor)
  • cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca starch
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • For the gelatin egg can also sub an actual egg
  • 1 tbsp gelatin
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and lightly grease a parchment lined baking sheet with coconut oil
  • Add the zucchini and broccoli to a mixing bowl and thoroughly combine
  • Wrap the broccoli and zucchini in a cheese cloth or paper towel and squeeze to remove excess liquid
  • Add the mixture back to the bowl
  • Mix in the uncooked chopped bacon
  • Add in the coconut flour, coconut oil, tapioca starch and seasonings, and combine
  • Set the mixture aside
  • For the gelatin egg, add the water to a small sauce pot and slowly pour over the gelatin
  • Allow it to bloom over 2-3 minutes
  • Place the pot on the stove and turn in on low heat
  • Slowly melt the the gelatin (this will take just 2-3 minutes) and remove from heat
  • Vigorously whisk the gelatin egg until it becomes frothy
  • Add the gelatin egg to the mixture immediately and combine
  • Start forming patties and place them onto the baking sheet (you should have about a 12-14)
  • Bake for 20 minutes
  • Very carefully flip them over and bake for another 10-15 minutes (depending on how crispy you like them)
  • OPTIONAL: To crisp further, put until the broiler for 1-2 minutes
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool
  • Serve with a compliant ranch dressing, ketchup, or guacamole
