Description

These Baked Sweet Potato Zucchini Tots are a healthy and delicious snack or side dish, combining the natural sweetness of mashed sweet potatoes with the fresh flavor of grated zucchini. Lightly seasoned and baked to golden perfection, they offer a nutritious alternative to traditional fried tots, perfect for a gluten-free and wholesome treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

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

Seasonings and Flour

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prepare for baking the tots.
  2. Prepare Zucchini: Use your hands to squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent sogginess and ensure the tots hold together properly.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the drained zucchini, mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Form Tots: Take tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into tot shapes with your hands. Place each tot onto the lined baking tray, spacing them evenly.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tots turn slightly golden brown on the outside.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the tots warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • These tots freeze well. Freeze before cooking and make sure to separate them to avoid sticking together.
  • Can be frozen for up to 3 months when stored in a large zip lock bag.
  • For best texture, bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time if needed.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning by adding herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
