It's Tasty Tuesday and oh my yum is this one a keeper!!
but first the background on how I came up on the recipe...
This summer we had a ton of zucchini growing in our garden and wow were they huge!! I could only make so many loaves of zucchini bread before I needed something new to make.

I only had a few recipes that include zucchini so I went searching for more. Some recipes we tried were fabulous, some not so fabulous. The recipe I am sharing with you tonight was FABULOUS!! We all loved it and the kids although they say they don't like zucchini ate these up and asked for more!!
It would also make a great hot appetizer at a party (who's hosting the next one?!)
Here I share with you
Zucchini Tots
Ingredients...
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
4 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
sea salt and black pepper to taste
Directions...
1. After you shred your zucchini, lay it out on a few layers of paper towel and lay another layer of paper towel over top and press down. This will help remove some water from the zucchini.
2. Sprinkle sea salt over the zucchini and let sit for an additional 15 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, add zucchini, onions, bread crumbs, eggs, and cheese. Sprinkle salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well.
4. Spray a 24 cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray and then scoop about a tablespoon of zucchini mixture into each cup. Fill all cups and then top off each cup with some panko breadcrumbs.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until slightly browned on top.
6. When tots are done use a knife around the edges to loosen the cup and then use a spoon to lift them out.
7. Last but not least - ENJOY this healthy side dish, snack, appetizer!!
So easy, so delicious, and so good for you!!
