Savory Zucchini Tots

Zucchini is such a versatile vegetable. It can blend in anything and everything. I make these little beauties whenever kids are in mood for a savory treat.


They are very low in calories. Zucchini itself is low in cholestrol and high in protein, Vitamin A and minerals. So it's a win win situation for me when kids ask for more every time. I had gotten this idea of tots from a fitness site and made it my own. It almost tastes like fried bhajiya's. Ever since, we all are big fan of these treats.




Ingredients:

Zucchini, grated - 1 1/2 cup
Onions, chopped fine - 1/2 cup 

Potato - grated - 1/4 cup
Parmesean Cheese - 1/2 cup
Bread Crumbs- 1/2 cup
Eggs - 1 Large/ 2 medium

Ginger - lime size - grated
Lime juice - 1 tsp.
Salt to taste
Chili powder - 1/2 tsp
Oil/ Butter spray


Method of Preparation:

~ Mix all the ingredients (except the spray ofcourse)
~ Preheat the oven at 400 degrees. Grease or spray the muffin tin.
~ Spoon in the zucchini mixture into all the muffin tin equally and pat it down.
~ Bake for 20 - 30 minutes or till the brown crust forms on the edges.
~ Serve it hot with your favorite sauce or ketchup.

Note:

~ Instead of grating, you can chop the vegetables finely in a food processor and use it.
~ You can use different variety of cheese, parmesean gives a nice taste, which we like.
~ Instead of using muffin tins you can tap it down in a oven safe dish and cut it into pieces to serve.
