Course: Snack
Servings: 4 tots

Ingredients

  • For the Tots
  • 2 cups cold mashed sweet potatoes for best texture
  • 1 cup zucchini squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour or all-purpose flour
  • Optional Flavor Enhancers
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers finely chopped

Instructions

  • Prep the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the shreds in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze vigorously to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
  • Create the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold mashed sweet potatoes, the squeezed zucchini, and the coconut flour.
  • Incorporate Flavors: Stir the mixture thoroughly until it forms a cohesive, firm dough. (Add any optional spices or nutritional yeast at this stage).
  • Shape the Tots: Roll small portions of the dough into uniform cylindrical shapes (about 1–2 inches long).
  • Arrange for Baking: Place the tots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each one to ensure even air circulation.
  • High-Heat Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes.
  • The Critical Flip: Halfway through the baking time, gently flip each tot to ensure both sides achieve a uniform golden-brown crunch.
  • Rest & Set: Remove from the oven and allow the tots to cool for 5 minutes on the pan; this helps them firm up so they don't break when dipped.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or a zesty avocado dip.
