Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 (about 250g) grated zucchinis
- 1 cup/250g cooked mashed sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ 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 prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Zucchini: Use your hands to thoroughly squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini. This step is crucial to avoid soggy tots and help them hold their shape while baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a cohesive mixture.
- Shape the Tots: Take tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and form them into tot shapes using your hands. Place each tot evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the tots in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until they turn slightly golden brown on the outside, indicating they are cooked through and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the tots from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty snack or side dish.
Notes
- These tots freeze well. Freeze them before cooking and be sure to separate each tot to prevent sticking.
- They can be stored in a large zip-lock bag for up to 3 months in the freezer.
- For best results, bake from frozen or thaw slightly before baking.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning to your taste, adding herbs or spices.
