Ingredients:
- 3 - medium zucchinis about 1 pound, grated
- 1 - large yellow onion grated
- 2 cloves - garlic minced
- 1 cups - sharp cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese grated
- 1 cups - panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoons - kosher salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoons - cracked black pepper or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoons - cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cups - fresh parsley minced
- 1/2 teaspoons - dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoons - dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoons - dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoons - dried rosemary crushed
- 2 - large eggs
- - vegetable or canola oil to grease pan
Directions:
*Also need a large flour sack dish towel to wring excess moisture from vegetables after grating them.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly coat the cups of a mini muffin pan with oil.
Using a food processor fitted with a fine shredding/grating disc, grate zucchini and yellow onion. Place the grated vegetables into a clean flour sack dish towel. Roll towel around vegetables and twist, liking wringing water from the towel, over a bowl to remove moisture from vegetables. Continue to wring the moisture until no more liquid can be pulled out of the vegetables. Note: While you can skip wringing out the moisture, removing it from the vegetables helps ensure crispy bites once baked.
Pour the vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Add minced garlic, grated cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, cracked pepper, cayenne pepper, parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary. Using a large cooking spoon or hands, mix to combine.
In a small bowl, add eggs and whisk lightly with a fork. Pour eggs over vegetable mixture and stir to thoroughly coat.
Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop, scoop mixture into the greased cups of the mini muffin pan. Place a scoop in the cup, then use the back of the scoop or the back of a spoon to press the mixture tightly together into the cup.
Bake in preheated oven 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Makes 48 tots.
