Ingredients
1 cups zucchini, grated1 egg1/4 yellow onion, diced1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or Parmesan work the best)1/4 cup bread crumbs - I used Italian styleSalt and Pepper
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a 24 ct. mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray, set aside.
2. Grate the zucchini and then place in a dish towel to squeeze out the excess water- like when using frozen spinach; if you skip this part, the middle of the zucchini tots will be really soggy while the outside gets crispy and no one wants that.
3. In a bowl combine, the egg, onion, cheese, bread crumbs, zucchini, salt and pepper.
4. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill the muffin cups to the top. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the top is browned and set.

    These are amazing. Garlic is a must add if you like it. I made them in regular muffin tins and they taste like tots/crisp hash brown casserole. I don't miss potatoes or pasta using zucchini- yum - 7/15/14

    Yummy! I did something different in cooking them, this was due to a power outage, instead of in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes I did them on the gas grill at 400 for only 10 minutes. I never had made them before, but they were the rave of the dinner. I will have to try in the oven next time. :) - 8/6/12

    Pretty good. I followed the directions but doubled all the ingredients. That made only 24 tots when the mini-muffin pans were filled as per the directions. They tasted almost like mini stuffing tots! - 10/19/19

    I let the zucchini drip so the vitamin juice wasn't lost. Used it in other cooking. Delicious. - 8/9/19
