Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini heaping cup, grated
  • ¼ cup yellow onion finely chopped, or shallot
  • ¼ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese grated
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning dried
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • olive oil
  • marinara sauce for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Place the grated zucchini in cheesecloth or a kitchen towel and wring all of the excess water out (it will be a lot!).
  3. Place the zucchini in a bowl along with all of the other ingredients except the olive oil. Mix until combined. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into an oval shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Arrange the tots on a single layer on the baking sheet and spray or brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
  5. Bake until puffed up and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking. Serve with marinara sauce or other dipping sauce.
