Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 cups mashed)
- 1 medium zucchini (grated and excess moisture squeezed out)
- 1 cup plain or seasoned breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Veggies: Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil until soft, then mash. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
- Mix It All Together: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape Your Tots: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form small balls (about one inch in diameter) from the mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between each tot.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip halfway through for even browning.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or tzatziki.
