Zucchini Tots

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 26 minutes

Ingredients

1 medium zucchini

1 large egg

½ cup plain breadcrumbs

¼ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or pizza seasoning)

¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Line a bowl with a clean kitchen towel and grate the zucchini with a box grater or hand-held grater. Wrap up the towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.

Measure out 1 cup of the grated, dry zucchini. Add to a medium bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Stir well. (You may need to use clean hands to get the batter uniformly mixed.)

Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to portion out rounds, pressing and forming them into tot shapes. Place onto the prepared baking pan.

Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and firm to the touch.

(To make in the Air Fryer, air-fry on a parchment-lined rack for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F. )
