Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 (about 250g) grated zucchinis
- 1 cup (250g) cooked mashed sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent the tots from sticking.
- Prepare the zucchini: Use your hands to squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini to avoid soggy tots and help them hold their shape while baking.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form tot shapes: Use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture and form tablespoon-sized tot shapes. Place each tot onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart evenly.
- Bake the tots: Bake the tots in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until they turn slightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the tots from the oven and serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty snack or side dish.
Notes
- These tots freeze well. Freeze them before cooking and make sure to separate them to avoid sticking together.
- Can be frozen for up to 3 months in a large zip lock bag.
