Zucchini Tots

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the grated zucchini into a kitchen towel and squeeze all excess liquid out. Discard the liquid. It should come out to 1 cup packed after the liquid is squeezed out.

Step 3

Transfer the dried zucchini into a medium bowl. Add the egg, cheese, panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper, and then combine until mixture sticks together.

Step 4

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and form into small ovals, like the shape of tater tots. Makes about 16.

Step 5

Place the tater tots on the greased baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they’re golden.

Step 6

Serve warm with ketchup or other dipping sauce.
