I am a huge fan of spaghetti squash. I didn’t discover it until just a few years ago but we eat it all the time here. I don’t typically use it as a spaghetti replacement but love using it in things like spaghetti squash egg muffins or bacon spaghetti squash fritters.
These make a great appetizer or side dish. I added cheese to mine but you could easily leave it out if you prefer to stick to a more paleo style.
Bacon Spaghetti Squash Fritters:
1 small spaghetti squash, cooked and shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup coconut flour
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
Salt and pepper
Oil for cooking
Let’s Make It:
In a large bowl, combine spaghetti squash, eggs, flour, bacon, cheese, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
In a large skillet, heat 1-2 Tbsp oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 1/4 – 1/3 cup of spaghetti squash batter to pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
These are one of my favorites things to eat right now. We use them as a side dish or a quick snack. If you don’t have shredded cheddar on hand, you could either leave out the cheese or substitute your favorite cheese instead. The next time I make these spaghetti squash fritters I think I might try some Gruyere in them.

this looks yummy can’t wait to try it thanks for sharing
I made this, but found the coconut flour was unnecessary as it formed clumps of “paste” which wasn’t very nice. This recipe would be much better without it.
What a great side dish and rather healthy. Does bacon count?

These sound so yummy and easy! I am always looking for new ways to cook spaghetti squash! I just love it so much and this is something “new” I had not heard of. Can’t wait to try it. Pinning this recipe for sure.
My sister would be just wild about these – so delish and healthy but just a little different, too! Looks delish and thanks for sharing on Throwback Thursday!

Can you use a different flour to coconut flour?
You could use regular flour if you want.
I don’t know if I am posting this twice or not. I didn’t see any nutritional values. Did I miss this?
The online nutritional value calculators vary widely in their accuracy. Typically, I do not list nutritional values for my recipes for this reason. Recommend using your favorite trusted calculator to get nutritional values.

How many cups of squash do you use?
It is usually 2-3 cups of squash.
Can this be done in an air frier?
I haven’t tried it but I am betting they could be made using an air fryer.
