Zucchini Cheesy Tots

Servings: 16 zucchini tots

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups packed shredded zucchini
  • 1/4 cup onion finely minced
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly coat a piece of parchment paper with non-stick spray and place on a baking sheet.
  • Remove excess water in shredded zucchini by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel. Wring or squeeze until zucchini is really dry.
  • In a medium bowl, add zucchini, egg, onion, cheddar cheese, panko bread crumbs and spices together.
  • Scoop tablespoons of zucchini mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press mounds together to form a football-like shape and lightly flattened.
  • Bake for 16-20 minutes until the edges are golden.
  • Serve immediately with ranch dressing, if desired.

Notes

These taste best right from the oven. They don't retain their crispness when reheated, so ideally make enough to be eaten at one time
