Right about this time of the year, my garden is loaded with zucchini and yellow squash. I believe squash is best eaten fresh, not frozen nor canned, so I have a regular line up of my favorite ways to prepare this veggie. But this is probable my all time favorite way to prepare zucchini, but I think I say that about every dish I prepare. The trick to maintaining the shape is to use amini muffin tin.
How to Make Zucchini Tots:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped or minced
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt
- Black Pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Spray a mini-muffin pan with a baking spray such as Pam and set aside.
- Grate the zucchini onto a dish towel, close up the towel and wring out the excess water. (This will prevent your tots from being soggy)
- In a small bowl combine zucchini, egg, onion, cheese, bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste.
- Use a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill the mini muffin cups to the top and lightly press down.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is browned and set
- Run a knife around the outer rim of each zucchini tot and gently remove them from the pan
Served these Zucchini Appetizers with Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing or ketchup
