Ready in just 40 minutes, they make for a satisfying appetizer or light meal thatβs as fun to eat as it is to prepare.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently blanch the cabbage leaves for 2-3 minutes until they are pliable. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon once cooled.
In the same skillet, remove excess bacon grease leaving only about a tablespoon. Add olive oil if necessary and heat over medium heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet. Scramble them gently, then transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl.
Add the grated carrot, red bell pepper, and sliced green onion to the skillet. SautΓ© for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet. Add crumbled bacon, coconut aminos, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes to let flavors meld.
Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the bacon and egg mixture onto the center of the leaf.
Roll the cabbage leaf tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides like a traditional egg roll.
Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
Serve the Paleo Bacon Egg Rolls warm as an appetizer or a light meal.
