Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchinis (about 250g), grated
  • 1 cup (250g) cooked mashed sweet potato

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Binding Agent

  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Zucchini: Use your hands to firmly squeeze out all the excess moisture from the grated zucchini to avoid soggy tots.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Form Tots: Using a tablespoon, scoop and shape the mixture into small tot-sized portions and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking tray.
  5. Bake: Bake the tots in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until they turn slightly golden brown and hold together firmly.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favourite dipping sauce for a tasty snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Ensure to squeeze out as much moisture from zucchini as possible to help the tots crisp up nicely.
  • You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour if preferred, but the texture may vary slightly.
  • Feel free to add herbs like parsley or oregano for an extra flavor boost.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
