Instructions
Cooking is an art that tells a story, and with these steps, you’ll be able to craft your own tale of culinary delight.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the grated sweet potatoes and zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This ensures your tots will be crispy.
- In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small tot shapes, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each tot with a little olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the moment, as each tot is a bite-sized piece of family love.
