Description

These Baked Sweet Potato Zucchini Tots are a healthy and delicious snack or side dish made from grated zucchini and mashed sweet potatoes, seasoned with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, then baked to golden perfection. They’re naturally gluten-free and perfect for a nutritious bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

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

Seasonings & Flour

  • 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 thoroughly squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent sogginess.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
  3. Shape the Tots: Form the mixture into tablespoon-sized tot shapes by hand and arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tots are slightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful snack or side.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to ensure crispy tots.
  • You can customize the seasoning by adding herbs like parsley or paprika for extra flavor.
  • These tots can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
  • For a different flour option, almond flour or arrowroot powder can be used instead of coconut flour.
  • Serve with dips such as ketchup, ranch, or a spicy mayo.
