  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 4 minute

Ingredients

– 2 medium zucchinis
– 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
– 1 large egg
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– Cooking spray or olive oil for baking


Instructions

Making Parmesan Zucchini Tots is simple and straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. You should have about 2 cups of grated zucchini.

3. Remove Excess Moisture: Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is essential for achieving crispy tots.

4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

5. Form Tots: Using your hands, form the mixture into small tot shapes, about the size of a tablespoon. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.

6. Spray Tots: Lightly spray the tops of the tots with cooking spray or drizzle olive oil for added crispiness.

7. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the tots are golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through for even cooking.

8. Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

These step-by-step instructions will help you create delicious Parmesan Zucchini Tots in no time.
