Ingredients

Scale

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 and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Zucchini: Using your hands, squeeze out all excess moisture from the grated zucchini thoroughly. Removing moisture is crucial to help the tots hold together and achieve a good texture when baked.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Form Tots: Take tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and shape them into small tot shapes with your hands. Place each tot onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
  5. Bake: Bake the tots in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until they turn slightly golden brown, indicating they are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
  6. Serve: Remove the tots from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce such as ketchup, sour cream, or a spicy aioli for added flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to avoid soggy tots.
  • You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour if preferred, but texture may vary slightly.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the mixture.
  • Store leftover tots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat to maintain crispiness.
  • This recipe is gluten-free and suitable for a low-fat diet.
