Aside from the zucchini itself, you likely have all the ingredients you&#8217;ll need at the ready, so why don&#8217;t you pop out to the store, and then we&#8217;ll get cooking.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Zucchini Tots<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2037918\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Zucchini-Tots_TOHD24_187288_EricKleinberg_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Zucchini Tots recipe photo of the ingredients. \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li><strong>Shredded zucchini:\u00a0<\/strong>The main event in this recipe is obviously zucchini, and you&#8217;ll need 2 cups, shredded. Choose veggies that are good and firm, and chop the ends off but don&#8217;t peel them. (Or stripe the zucchini if you prefer, but leaving some skin on enhances the texture of the finished tots.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs: <\/strong>This recipe calls for two large eggs that have been lightly beaten, which is to say they&#8217;re fully combined, but not growing lighter and whipped at all. Eggs act as binding agents and also add protein to the tots.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion: <\/strong>Use a white or yellow onion; either way, you want 1\/2 cup of grated onion. Its flavor is subtle in these tots, but they would be greatly lacking in taste without this essential ingredient.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheddar cheese:\u00a0<\/strong>The shredded cheddar cheese adds welcome taste and texture, but it&#8217;s not absolutely essential. Which is to say, cheddar is not essential\u2014but the cheese is! You can use Colby, pepper jack or even mozzarella.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Panko bread crumbs: <\/strong>Opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">panko bread crumbs<\/a> instead of regular bread crumbs, as the latter will make the zucchini tots come out too dense and without the proper crunch and texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic powder:\u00a0<\/strong>Garlic powder is potent stuff, so don&#8217;t add too much. If you don&#8217;t have garlic powder or don&#8217;t care for garlic, you can just add a pinch more salt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italian seasoning:\u00a0<\/strong>If you don&#8217;t have a jar of Italian seasoning in your pantry, not to worry\u2014it&#8217;s merely a blend of common herbs like basil, rosemary, oregano, thyme and marjoram. And if you want, you can blend up some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-seasoning\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-seasoning\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade Italian seasoning<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the shredded zucchini<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2033959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Zucchini-Tots_TOHD24_187288_EricKleinberg_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Zucchini Tots recipe photo of the the zucchini squeezed of excess liquid.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F.

Don&#8217;t use a microwave, as that will make them mushy.<\/div>\n<h3>Can you freeze zucchini tots?<\/h3>\n<div>Yes, just do so in two steps. First freeze them, uncovered, in a single layer on a baking sheet. When they&#8217;re frozen, which will take about three hours, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag and store them for up to three months. Thaw them in the fridge prior to reheating.<\/div>\n<h2>Zucchini Tot Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2033963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Zucchini-Tots_TOHD24_187288_EricKleinberg_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Zucchini Tots recipe photo the finished recipe.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I bake them in muffin tins?<\/h3>\n<p>You can prepare these tots in mini muffin tins, and they&#8217;ll come out wonderfully. They&#8217;ll be a bit larger, and may require a bit more baking time, but they will be perfectly crisp.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I serve with this zucchini tots recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>Anything that goes well with Tater Tots will go well with these, so think burgers and brats, grilled cheese sandwiches, a fish fillet and more.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I stop the tot mixture from sticking to my fingers?<\/h3>\n<p>If the zucchini shreds are sticking to your fingers as you form the tots, fill a bowl with water and keep it on hand. After forming two or three tots, submerge your hands, pat them dry on a dish towel and get right back to it.<\/p>\n<h3>Are these a healthy food?<\/h3>\n<p>As we said before, these tots are relatively healthy, and they&#8217;re certainly not unhealthy. A four-tot serving has about 90 calories, 5 grams of fat, 6 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. If you&#8217;re watching your sodium, just use less salt, as there are almost 500 milligrams per serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crispy zucchini tots are one of the tastiest ways to eat your veggies.
