Parmesan Zucchini Tots are a delicious way to sneak vegetables into your family’s diet. These crispy, cheesy bites are perfect as an appetizer or a fun side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy tots.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into small tot-sized shapes.
  5. Place the shaped tots on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the tots with cooking spray before baking.
  • Feel free to add other seasonings like onion powder or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • These are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
