Makes 16 tots
Ingredients:
-
1 heaping cup grated zucchini
-
¼ cup finely chopped shallot or yellow onion
-
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
-
¼ cup whole wheat panko or other unseasoned dried breadcrumbs
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
-
Olive oil
-
Marinara sauce for serving
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F.
-
Place the grated zucchini in cheesecloth or a kitchen towel and wring all of the excess water out.
-
Place the zucchini in a bowl along with all of the other ingredients except the olive oil. Mix until combined. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into an oval shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Arrange the tots on a single layer on the baking sheet and spray or brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
-
Bake until puffed up and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking. Serve with marinara sauce or other dipping sauce.
