It's very sad to hear that someone with awesome food photos like yourself has lost so many of them to the curse of Unslpash.
With shots like yours, if you got them in front of the right people, then you could make a proper living off them, in my opinion, rather than wasting your talents on Getty or other stock sites. As I say in the article, I pretty much put my rejects on Getty just so they are still working for me.
I'd highly recommend looking into "what next" with your food photography career.
And never put your photos on unsplash or pixabay etc ever again.
