WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Recipe Notes:

Pouring off some of the bacon fat partway through cooking will help keep the zucchini from getting soggy and will also help the bacon get crispier.
Using a thicker baking pan is important for this recipe because a thin baking pan could warp in while baking causing the grease to spill onto the bottom of your oven.
You must use Parchment paper Not waxed paper. You can also use a baking rack over a baking pan, or a non greased cookie sheet if preferred.
Serve with a side of Keto Approved Ranch Dressing.

For a little extra flavour, you could add scallions, green onions or chives. You could also add feta or parmesan cheese. The crispy fritters can be served with any type of dip. I used sour cream, which was delicious but you could use a greek yogurt dip, tartar sauce or ranch instead.

– The butter can be switched out for coconut oil or your preferred keto cooking oil.

– For extra crispy fritters, bake in the oven after frying at 400 F, for 5 – 10 minutes.
