Scale
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis (about 250g), grated
- 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Zucchini: Use your hands to squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini to ensure the tots hold together well and become crispy when baked.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Tots: Take tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and shape them into small tot shapes. Place each tot on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake: Bake the tots in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until they are slightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty snack or side dish.
Notes
- These tots freeze well. Freeze 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.
