These Zucchini Tots are a healthier, lightened up alternative to tater tots, with tasty Parmesan flavor!
Yield: 12zucchini tots
Ingredients
1cupshredded zucchini, I shredded mine on the large holed side of a box grater
¼medium onion, chopped
1large egg
¼cupdry bread crumbs
1ozParmesan cheese, freshly grated (I use the smaller holed side of a box grater. Alternately, if you want to use canned grated Parmesan cheese you can use ¼ cup of that.)
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400. Mist a 12 cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Wrap the shredded zucchini in a paper towel (or clean dish towel) and squeeze to extract any excess moisture from the zucchini.
In a medium bowl, stir together all ingredients until combined. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin and press down on the filling in each cup with the back of the spoon to compact them together.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are beginning to turn golden. Run a plastic knife around the outside of each top while still in the muffin tin and they will come right out.
