These Baked Sweet Potato Zucchini Tots are a healthy and delicious snack or side dish, combining nutrient-rich sweet potatoes and zucchini into crispy, golden bites. Perfectly seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and lightly bound with coconut flour, these tots are baked rather than fried for a guilt-free treat suitable for vegetarian and gluten-free diets.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 (about 250g) grated zucchinis
  • 1 cup/ 250g cooked mashed sweet potato

Seasonings & Binders

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Tray: Preheat your oven to 160C (350F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Drain Zucchini: Using your hands, squeeze all the moisture out of the grated zucchini into a sink or bowl. Removing excess water helps the tots hold together and become crispy when baked.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  4. Form Tots: Take tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and shape them into small tots with your hands. Place each tot on the prepared baking tray, spaced slightly apart.
  5. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tots turn slightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favourite dipping sauce such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli.

Notes

  • Be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to prevent soggy tots.
  • You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour if preferred but note this may slightly change the texture.
  • These tots are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness rather than using a microwave.
  • Feel free to add herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
