- 1 cup (250g) cooked mashed sweet potato
Seasonings and Flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent the tots from sticking during baking.
- Prepare Zucchini: Use your hands to squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini thoroughly; this step is important to ensure the tots hold together and bake properly.

- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty and wholesome snack.
Notes
- These tots freeze well before cooking; place them on a tray separated to prevent sticking and freeze, then transfer to a large zip lock bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Make sure to thoroughly squeeze out moisture from the zucchini to ensure the recipe holds its shape during baking.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning or try different dipping sauces to suit your taste preferences.
