Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 zucchinis (about 250g), grated
- 1 cup (250g) cooked mashed sweet potato
Seasonings & Flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Tray: Preheat your oven to 160°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Remove Moisture from Zucchini: Using your hands, squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini. This step is crucial to help the tots hold together and become crispy during baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a firm mixture.
- Form Tots: Shape the mixture into tablespoon-sized tots by rolling small portions between your hands. Place each tot onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.
- Bake: Bake the tots in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they turn slightly golden brown and are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty snack or side.
Notes
- These tots freeze well. Freeze them before cooking and ensure they are separated to avoid sticking together.
- Can be frozen for up to 3 months in a large zip-lock bag.
- For best texture, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini.
- You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour if desired, but note the texture may vary slightly.
