Ingredients

1-2 medium zucchini 100 grams grated zucchini once squeezed
1 Tablespoon chives
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ cup flour 75 grams
½ cup grated cheese
2 eggs 1-2 eggs

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius
Grate the zucchini, and squeeze it between your hands to get rid of as much liquid as possible.
Place 100 grams of the squeezed zucchini with the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Combine with a wooden spoon.
Line a tray with baking paper, place tablespoon scoops of the zucchini tot batter on the lined tray.
Bake at 200 degrees celsius for 15 minutes, or until the zucchini tots are golden.

Notes

- Take the time to squeeze out the grated zucchini, the dryer the zucchini the better the final zucchini tot!

- The number of eggs required for this recipe may vary between 1-2 depending on the size of the eggs and how dry the grated zucchini is. You can always make the batter with one egg, then add a second if the batter is not coming together.

- I do not add salt to this recipe when making it for baby-led weaning, you can season the batter with salt and pepper for older family members.
- Zucchini tots can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to. 3 months.
- Cooled zucchini tots can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. They can be reheated in either the microwave or in the air fryer.
- - Plain flour: this recipe will work with gluten-free flour or rice flour.
  - Chives: These could be substituted for grated onion or finely sliced spring onions
  - I use grated cheddar cheese or grated colby cheese.
