NEW YORK, Sept 2 — This recipe by Buzzfeed’s Tasty for cheese baked zucchini tots shows us healthy can be easy too.
Here is a list of ingredients you will need:
Zucchini Tots
(Serves 5-6)
4 medium-sized zucchini
¾ cup bread crumbs
¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 eggs
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
Salt (to pull moisture from the zucchini)
To start, heat the oven to 200˚C.
Grate the zucchini into a bowl and salt generously, then let it sit for 20 minutes. The salt will draw out the moisture from the zucchini.
Pour zucchini onto a clean dish towel and squeeze out any excess water.
Place the grated zucchini back into the bowl and add in the bread crumbs, cheese, eggs and seasoning. Mix everything together until well-blended.
Using your hands, shape a tablespoon full of mixture by rolling and pressing lightly to form a tot. Repeat for rest of mixture.
Place the tots on a greased baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tots are golden brown and crunchy.
Serve warm and enjoy!
