Ingredients
- 1 kg (2lb) zucchini
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (if using fresh breadcrumbs, double the quantity)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Grate zucchini with a box grated or food processor with a grating attachment.
- Season with a pinch of salt then transfer to a fine mesh sieve and allow to drain for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, transfer the zucchini to a clean tea towel or muslin cloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Skipping this step will result in a very soggy, wet mixture.
- Transfer the zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the breadcrumbs, eggs, cheese, garlic powder and dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper then mix well until combined.
- Using slightly damp hands, form the mixture into tots.
- Spray the basket of an air fryer with non-stick cooking spray then add the zucchini tots in an even layer, slightly spaced apart.
- You can cook them in a hot oven too, simply place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Air fry the tots at 200ºC/390ºF for 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Remove and serve with dipping sauce of your choice.
