Ingredients

  • 4 Fresh Zucchini
  • ¾ cup bread crumbs
  • ¾ cup shredded cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • Salt to pull moisture from zucchini

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200˚C.)
  2. Grate the zucchini into a bowl and salt generously.
  3. Allow zucchini to sit for 20 minutes as the salt draws out moisture.
  4. Pour zucchini onto a clean dish towel and wring it out over the sink or into a separate bowl.
  5. Pour the zucchini back into your bowl and add bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, eggs, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix together until well-blended.
  6. Take a tablespoon of mixture and roll it into a tot, repeat for the rest of the mixture.
  7. Place on a greased baking sheet and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tots are crunchy. Serve warm.

Notes & Tips

  • You can change the amount or variety of spices. 1 tbsp of garlic can be a lot.
  • Really get the moisture out of the zucchini. It affects the texture.
  • You could replace zucchini with broccoli and not have to get the moisture out.
