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 add some sasuage to mine, oh yeah they are still yummy. A bit more calorie wise but if I only have two then it's okay. My husband and brother in law loved them.

    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.
