Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis (about 250g), grated
- 1 cup (250g) cooked mashed sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to ensure the tots do not stick.
- Prepare Zucchini: Use your hands to squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent sogginess in the tots.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour, mixing thoroughly until well blended.
- Shape Tots: Form the mixture into tablespoon-sized tots, shaping each firmly to hold together, and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tots turn slightly golden brown and hold their shape.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for an enjoyable snack or side dish.
Notes
- Squeezing out excess moisture from zucchini is key to achieving crispy tots.
- Feel free to customize seasonings or add herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
- These tots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- For a vegan version, ensure the mashed sweet potato contains no added dairy or butter.
