Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 heaping cup grated zucchini
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot or yellow onion
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup whole wheat panko or other unseasoned dried breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Olive oil
- Marinara sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the grated zucchini in a cheesecloth or a kitchen towel (I used a paper towel) and wring all of the excess water out (there will be a lot).
- Place the zucchini in a bowl along with all of the other ingredients (except the olive oil). Mix until combined.
- 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 tomato sauce for dipping.
