These Potato Zucchini Tots are a delicious and healthy snack made from grated zucchini and mashed sweet potato, seasoned with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, and lightly bound with coconut flour. Baked to a perfect golden brown, they are a nutritious alternative to traditional tater tots, offering a tasty way to enjoy vegetables in a crispy bite-sized form.

  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 32 tots

Ingredients

Vegetables

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

Seasonings & Others

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 160C/350F and line a baking tray with baking paper. Use your hands to squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent sogginess.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Form Tots: Shape the mixture into tablespoon-sized tots using your hands, then place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake the tots in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they turn slightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Squeezing out excess moisture from the zucchini is essential to achieve crispy tots.
  • You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour or regular flour if preferred, but adjust quantity as needed.
  • These tots can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
