Ingredients
  

For the Tots
  • 2 cups Shredded Zucchini Use fresh for the best texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt Use sparingly to avoid excess saltiness.
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour Substitute with almond flour at a 1:4 ratio.
  • 2 large Large Eggs Can be replaced with egg replacer, though results may vary.
  • 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheese Consider mozzarella or nutritional yeast for dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Yellow Onion Shallots make a great milder alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Regular paprika works if necessary.

Equipment

  • 24-cup mini-muffin pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Zucchini Tots
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
  2. Combine shredded zucchini with a pinch of fine sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Allow to sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze zucchini with a clean towel to remove liquid.
  3. Add coconut flour to the drained zucchini, then mix in the large eggs, shredded cheese, finely chopped onion, and smoked paprika until well combined.
  4. Fill each muffin cup with about 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture, pressing down lightly to hold shape.
  5. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, checking around 12 minutes until golden brown and crisp on edges.
  6. Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
