Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grate the zucchini with a coarse cheese grater.
- Transfer the grated bits to a medium bowl and season with a ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Mix the zucchini until well incorporated.
- Let the zucchini sit for 20 minutes until the salt has drawn out some of the moisture.
- Pour the zucchini into a kitchen towel and twist to strain as much liquid as you can.
- Place the grated zucchini back into a bowl and mix with the breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, onion powder, remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, pepper, and egg, and mix until well combined.
- From the mixture into 15 even sized tots and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes, flipping each halfway through.
- Serve with your choice of dipping sauce.
- Enjoy!

These are scrumptious!! I added about a half cup of sharp cheddar and made then in a well sprayed mini muffin tin. Baked 22 minutes and they came out perfect! They can be eaten like a zucchini biscuit. Started by filling the 24 cups about 3/4ths full and used up the whole mixture. I’ll make these again and again.

Quite tasty! I didn’t add spring onions and added about 1/4 cup of cheddar to half of the batch (ones on the right) to compare with the original recipe. They’re both a great healthy treat, but I personally prefer the cheesy ones. 😋 Think these would also make good omelet cups!
