Cheesy Zucchini Tots Recipe

zucchini ((or 2 zucchini and 1 yellow squash), grated)

panko bread crumbs

cheddar cheese (finely grated)

eggs

cornstarch

tsp kosher sea salt

garlic powder

onion powder

tsp black pepper

parsley

paprika

avocado oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously spray/oil a standard size cookie sheet with nonstick spray (PAM works, but I prefer using avocado oil or grapeseed oil).

Place grated zucchini in a colander with small holes over the sink and press as much water out as possible (this look me a good 5 minutes).

Transfer zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs, cheese, eggs, cornstarch, salt, garlic, onion, pepper, parsley and paprika. Using a large spatula, mix the ingredient together until combined.

Using a tablespoon for uniform measurement, scoop zucchini and form into tots. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray tops with oil.

Place into the oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 18-22 minutes. Serve immediately alongside your favorite dip (ketchup, marinara or ranch).

You&#x27;ll never miss the taters! Crispy, crunchy, and sooo good! You&#x27;ll forget you&#x27;re eating zucchini!
