Zucchini Tots

I'm always buying zucchini but getting tired of the usual saute so this was a welcome treat. Kids will love this too!

Zucchini Tots

Zucchini Tots

4 medium zucchini - grated
2 eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (recommend Kraft)
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Prepare a baking sheet by spraying with nonstick spray (Pam) or cover with a sheet of parchment paper.

Place the grated zucchini in a colander in a bowl and sprinkle with salt.  Let it sit 15 minutes so salt can draw out moisture.  Discard liquid out of bowl.  Pour zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze over the sink to extract as much moisture as possible.  Place zucchini in bowl and add remaining ingredients.  Stir to combine.  Taste mixture to determine if salt and pepper is needed.

Shape mixture into tablespoon size tots and place on prepared pan.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
