    I recently came across a recipe for Zucchini tots and decided to give them a try. So so glad I did. They are so good and only

    Zucchini Tots
    yields: 12 mini muffins


    1 cups zucchini, grated
    1 egg
    1/4 yellow onion, diced
    1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or Parmesan work the best)
    1/4 cup bread crumbs - I used Italian style
    Salt and Pepper

    1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray, set aside.
    2. Grate the zucchini and then place in a dish towel to squeeze out the excess water- like when using frozen spinach; if you skip this part, the middle of the zucchini tots will be really soggy while the outside gets crispy and no one wants that.
    3. In a bowl combine, the egg, onion, cheese, bread crumbs, zucchini, salt and pepper.
    4. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill the muffin cups to the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is browned and set.

    Enjoy!

    I have made these a few times since this recipe was posted a few weeks ago. I have made a couple of changes:

    They get just as good using just an egg white instead of a whole egg.

    I have found that making them on a cookie sheet instead of a mini muffin pan makes clean up easier. Just put a small amount on the sheet and form it into a little patty.

    Delicious! My whole family likes these.

    I have also made these and totally agree with the egg white suggestion. Never thought about trying them on a cookie sheet - brilliant! Thanks for the tip :)

    Haven't tried it but hear that after cooking they'll freeze well (they go pretty fast in my house :)). Good luck!

    Going to try these things, and thanks for noting the egg white version. I really hate egg yolks.

    I have made these three times and currently have some zucchini defrosting in my fridge for #4. I might have to see if I can freeze them like packaged tater tots so I can save them for later too. So glad I found this recipe over the summer when my mom started handing me barrels of zucchini from her garden.

    My husband LOVES these. In fact it is something my kids will tolerate also. I don't have a mini-muffin pan, so I use my regular muffin pan and only fill them about 1/4 of the way. It makes them more 2 or 3 bites instead of 1.

    We are going to harvest party in a couple of weeks and she has requested that I make these - I may try them on the cookie sheet since I have to make so many.
