Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 zucchinis (about 250g), grated
  • 1 cup (250g) cooked mashed sweet potato

Spices and Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Flour

  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Tray: Preheat your oven to 160°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Drain Zucchini: Using your hands, squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini to ensure the tots hold together well and bake properly.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Stir until the mixture is evenly blended.
  4. Form Tots: Shape the mixture into tablespoon-sized tots using your hands and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking tray.
  5. Bake: Bake the tots in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until they turn slightly golden brown and are firm to the touch.
  6. Serve: Let the tots cool slightly and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or a spicy aioli.

Notes

  • Squeezing out moisture from zucchini is crucial to prevent soggy tots.
  • You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour if preferred, but adjust quantity as almond flour is less absorbent.
  • For extra crispiness, flip the tots halfway through baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture; microwave may make them soft.
