  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 25 minute

Ingredients

– 2 medium zucchinis, grated
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional: gluten-free)
– 1 large egg
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil spray (for baking)


Instructions

Making Zucchini Tots is simple! Just follow these easy steps to create this mouth-watering dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil spray or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using either a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess moisture. This step is important to achieve a crispy texture.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Form Tots: Use your hands to shape the mixture into small tots or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve: Once done, remove the zucchini tots from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!
