Zucchini Tots

While I am not a big fan of Tatar tots, I could eat these tots every day!  Despite how this picture looks, yes these are round like Tatar tots.  I have never made Tatar tots, but these tots are so easy to make!  They require a mini muffin pan which is my new favorite baking tool.  It makes things like these, muffins, and many other food items bite size.  The first time I made these I did not have a mini muffin pan and I did use a regular muffin pan, but they were not as crispy, you have to cook them longer, and you certainly cannot pop them in your mouth in one bite!  I found this recipe on a great cooking website skinnytaste.com and they are only 108 calories only for 4 tots!  For this recipe you will need the following:
     1 cup of grated zucchini
     1 large egg
     1/4 cup of onion, chopped
     1/4 cup of low fat cheddar cheese
     1/4 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
     salt and pepper to taste

 



Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.  Spray the mini muffin pan with cooking spray. 

Combine all the ingredients in and bowl, mixing them with your hands.

Add salt and pepper.

 

Fill each muffin cup to the top, pushing down on the filling with the back of a spoon,

 so it is nice and compact, that way they will not fall apart. 

Bake 16-18 minutes until they are golden brown!
