And again, more Zucchini. This zucchini happens to come from what was left of my zucchini for the Zucchini 'Bread' Oatmeal. These tots are super easy, better for you than tater tots and super delicious...I did not get a better picture because they were devoured before they really came out of the oven. I won't continue to bore you with my zucchini stories, but I can tell you, if you find a great deal on zucchini, buy it. It is so versatile and delicious!
Zucchini Tots
- 1 C. grated zucchini
- 1 egg
- 1/4 onion, diced
- 1/4 C. grated cheese of your choice
- 1/4 C. bread crumbs
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Grate the zucchini and then place on a dish towel. Use this towel to wring out ALL the excess water that is naturally in the zucchini. (If this step is skipped, the middle of the tots will be 'soggy' while the outside will be crispy, which kind of defeats having a 'tot').
- In a medium sized bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until well mixed.
- Spray mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- Spoon batter into the pan and press the batter down into each pan to make sure the batter will cook together and the tot will come out in one piece.
- Bake in oven for 15-18 minutes or until the top is browned and set.
- Remove from pan. If the tots are sticking, use a plastic knife and slide it around the outside edge of each tot to loosen it from the pan.
