ZUCCHINI TATER TOTS



Zucchini Tater Tots image

These tots are a healthy twist on classic tater tots. Classic tots are deep fried and made with potatoes, but these guys are baked and feature zucchini. Zucchini packs a nutritional punch! It's high in fiber and several vitamins and minerals including Vitamin C, Vitamin K, B vitamins, potassium and manganese. One medium zucchini supplies more than half of your daily Vitamin C needs! To make the tots, I mix shredded zucchini with some minced shallot and dried spices and bind it all together with an egg, breadcrumbs and yummy cheese. I like to use Italian spices and a mixture of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and serve the tots with marinara sauce for dipping. But what I love about this recipe is that it's a blank slate and you can use whatever types of seasoning and cheese you like. They would also be delicious with cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, dipped in a healthy Ranch style sauce. Just be sure to wring out as much water from the zucchini as you can. Zucchini has a high water content so this step is important to prevent the tots from getting soggy. After forming the mixture into tater tot shapes, simply spray them with olive oil and pop them in the oven. After about 20 minutes, they'll be puffed up and ready to be devoured!

1 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots or 1/4 cup yellow onion
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup whole wheat panko or 1/4 cup other unseasoned dried breadcrumbs

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
olive oil
marinara sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place the grated zucchini in cheesecloth or a kitchen towel and wring all of the excess water out (it will be a lot!).
  • Place the zucchini in a bowl along with all of the other ingredients except the olive oil. Mix until combined. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into an oval shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Arrange the tots on a single layer on the baking sheet and spray or brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
  • Bake until puffed up and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking. Serve with marinara sauce or other dipping sauce.

ZUCCHINI TOTS



Zucchini Tots image

These little "tater tots" are so crispy and tasty. And so much more healthy than real tator tots! They smell wonderful while baking. The recipe calls for the use of a 12 cup mini muffin pan- which I do not have. So I used my regular muffin pan and made 6 large ones. They were a hit! Next time I'm doubling the recipe and making 12...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c zucchini, grated
1 egg
1/4 c diced yellow onion
1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 c italian bread crumbs
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400. Prepare either a mini muffin pan (you will get 12 tots) or a regular muffin pan (you will get 6 large tots) with cooking spray.
  • 2. Place the grated zucchini in a paper towel or towel and drain off the excess water. This is an important step so you don't end up with soggy tots.

ZUCCHINI TOTS (LOW CARB) RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Zucchini Tots (Low Carb) Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-8595

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups grated zucchini (1 large)
1/2 small onion, minced
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
1/2 cup grated parmesan
2 eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 Grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much water as you can. It's surprisingly a pretty watery veggie. The more water you get out, the crisper your tots will be. Use a tea towel, or paper towels to squish and absorb the water. Add all ingredients into a large bowl. Stir well. Spray a mini muffin pan with a non-stick spray. You could alternatively shape these into tots and place on a baking sheet. Fill the muffin tin with the mixture, and bake for 15-20 mins or until the tops have turned golden. Serve immediately with a low fat sour cream, light blue cheese, or reduced sugar ketchup!

ZUCCHINI TOTS



ZUCCHINI TOTS image

Categories     Vegetable     Side

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cups zucchini, grated
1 egg
1/4 yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or Parmesan work the best)
1/4 cup bread crumbs - I used Italian style
Salt and Pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray, set aside. 2. Grate the zucchini and then place in a dish towel to squeeze out the excess water- like when using frozen spinach; if you skip this part, the middle of the zucchini tots will be really soggy while the outside gets crispy and no one wants that. 3. In a bowl combine, the egg, onion, cheese, bread crumbs, zucchini, salt and pepper. 4. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill the muffin cups to the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is browned and set.

GREEK ZUCCHINI TOTS



Greek Zucchini Tots image

These tasty bites are from the Greek Island of Alonnisos. They are so versatile - one of those recipes you can have for breakfast, lunch, dinner OR serve as appetisers at a party! I like to make them in the oven and shape them into tater-tot (potato gem) shapes. But you can cook them on the stove too, and as for shape, you're only limited by your imagination!! This makes around 35 to 40 tots.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb / 500 g zucchinis
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup scallions/shallots (, finely sliced (white and pale green parts only))
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs (, lightly beaten)
150 g / 5 oz feta cheese (, crumbled)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese ((or shredded cheddar or tasty cheese))
1 tbsp dried oregano
1/2 cup plain flour
Oil spray
1 cup plain Greek yoghurt
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil ((or more))
2 tsp fresh mint (, finely chopped)
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  • Grate the zucchini and place into a large colander. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, toss with your fingers and leave to sweat for 30 minutes.
  • Working a handful at a time, squeeze out the excess water (as much as you can) and place the zucchini in a bowl.
  • Add the Batter ingredients (except oil spray) and mix to combine.
  • Spray 2 baking trays with oil. Dollop heaped tablespoons onto the trays, then use your fingers to shape them into cylinder "tater-tot / potato gem" shapes.
  • Spray with oil. Bake for 25 minutes, swapping the trays at around 20 minutes, or until golden brown and a crunchy crust forms on the surface.
  • Serve with lemon wedges and Tzatziki, if using.
  • Mix together ingredients and set aside for at least 10 minutes before serving.
