Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of Shredded Zucchini about 1 medium zucchini
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • 3/4 cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 3/4 cup Dried Hashbrowns
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place your 2 cups of grated zucchini in a large bowl. Then press out as much moisture as possible with paper towels (or a clean dish towel). Press over and over until most of the excess moisture is gone. The drier you can get the zucchini, the better.
  • Next crush the dried hashbrowns with your hands (or with a rolling pin) to make them a little smaller. Add to your zucchini.
  • Next, add the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix together thoroughly with a large spoon.
  • Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, press the zucchini mixture into bite size portions.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes. When they are golden brown, remove from oven and serve immediately!
  • You can keep leftover zucchini tots in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3 days, or you can freeze them in a freezer safe container for 2-3 months. They can be reheated by placing on a prepared baking sheet in the oven, or you can use an air fryer or toaster oven.
