1
Wash and dry the zucchini, then use a vegetable peeler to make thin, ribbon-like strips.
2
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, chop it into small pieces, and set aside.
3
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the skillet.
4
Heat the reserved bacon grease over medium heat, then add the zucchini ribbons and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt.
6
Reduce the skillet heat to low and quickly stir in the egg mixture with the zucchini ribbons to coat them evenly, being careful not to scramble the eggs.
7
Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously, then mix in the chopped bacon.
8
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley, hot red pepper flakes, black pepper, and extra Parmesan cheese.
