Zucchini Tots
A quick to make veggie recipe great for little ones!
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini shredded
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent soggy tots!!
- In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, and seasonings. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Take small amounts (1.5-2tbsp) of the mixture and shape them into small tots or nuggets, or use a cookie scoop. Feel free to skip shaping them, I did! Place each tot on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tots are golden brown and crispy. If you'd like, you can flip the tots halfway through making to get them crispy on both sides but ngl I didn't do that lol
- Serve and enjoy!
