Why This Meal Is A Winner

These tots are a delicious way to enjoy vegetables in a crispy, bite-sized form. They combine the freshness of zucchini with the comforting texture of hash browns, making them a perfect snack or side dish that both kids and adults will love.

Helpful Tips For Cooking

- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to keep the tots crispy.
- Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Cook over medium heat to ensure they brown evenly without burning.

Step 1

Grat the zucchini and then place it in a colander or strainer over a bowl. Sprinkle a little salt on top and let it sit for about an hour so the extra moisture can drain out. After that, press the zucchini with a paper towel to squeeze out any leftover liquid.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and give a mini-muffin pan a quick spray with cooking spray to keep things from sticking.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, bread crumbs, shredded Cheddar, finely chopped onion, eggs, black pepper, oregano, basil, rosemary, garlic powder, sage, and about a quarter teaspoon of salt. Once everything is well combined, spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, pressing it down so it’s level with the top.

Step 4

Pop the pan in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tots turn golden brown and crispy on top. Let them cool a bit before digging in!

Serving Style Ideas

Serve these tots alongside your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo. They also pair well with eggs for breakfast or as a crunchy side to sandwiches and burgers.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore their crispiness instead of microwaving, which can make them soggy.

Tasted really good but I think I undercooked a little—they were softer than I hoped. Next time I’ll try longer in the oven.
