Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup finely shredded zucchini, moisture removed
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Avocado oil
Instructions
- Remove the moisture from the shredded zucchini by placing it in a tea towel or paper towel and twisting until dry.
- Place the zucchini in a large bowl, then add panko bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and squeeze it to hold together, then shape it into tater tot forms. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil. Arrange the tots in the basket, ensuring they are not layered. Spray the tops with more avocado oil.
- Cook the tots for 8 minutes at 375ºF, flipping them halfway through. You may need to cook in batches based on your air fryer's size.
Notes
Ensure the zucchini is thoroughly dried to avoid soggy tots.
Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer’s model, as some may cook faster than others.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces for added flavor.
