Easy & Delicious Shredded Zucchini Tots Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 pinch salt, or as needed
• cooking spray
• 0.5 cup dry bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 0.25 cup minced onion
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.13 teaspoon dried sage

Instructions

1. Place the shredded zucchini in a colander or strainer over a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for about 1 hour to drain excess liquid. Press with paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a mini-muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, bread crumbs, Cheddar cheese, eggs, onion, black pepper, oregano, basil, ¼ teaspoon salt, rosemary, garlic powder, and sage. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one completely and flattening the top.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the zucchini tots are nicely browned and cooked through.
