Cheesy Zucchini Tots - Guide Recipe
Who else loves zucchini? It’s one of my favorite vegetables! I like that it’s so mellow that it goes with pretty much anything , and it’s so easy to change it up with different flavor combinations. It’s great for baking , and I like to shred it and add it to ground meat for a little extra nutrition. It’s kind of amazing how many recipes you can use it in! These cheesy zucchini tots are a fun twist on tater tots , and are loaded with my favorite vegetable , along with some cheese and garlic to make things extra yummy. They’re super easy and quick to make , with just a few simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand in your pantry!
You’ll start by grating your zucchini into a clean kitchen towel , then squeezing out all of the extra liquid. I’m always shocked by how much water I get out of my zucchini! You’ll want the zucchini to be as dry as possible , so the tots don’t get soggy.
Once your zucchini is drained , mix it with some eggs , bread crumbs , seasonings , and grated cheese. I used a white cheddar cheese , but I think it would also be delicious with mozzarella. You really can’t go wrong here!
