Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (250 grams / 8.8 oz) sweet potato, cooked and mashed
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated (250 grams / 8.8 oz)
- 2 tbsps coconut flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preparation: Calibrate oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for seamless cooking.
- Moisture Removal: Squeeze grated zucchini meticulously using clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to extract maximum liquid, ensuring crispier tots.
- Mixture Development: Amalgamate shredded zucchini with mashed sweet potato, integrating garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour until thoroughly homogenized, creating a consistent binding texture.
- Shaping Process: Mold compact, uniform tots using a measured approach, strategically arranging them across prepared baking sheet with minimal spacing to promote even heat distribution.
- Roasting Phase: Transform tots in preheated oven, rotating sheet midway through cooking cycle to guarantee uniform golden-brown exterior and crisp texture, approximately 25-30 minutes.
- Finishing Touch: Extract tots from oven, permit brief resting period to stabilize structural integrity, and serve immediately with preferred complementary dipping sauce for optimal gustatory experience.
Notes
- Squeeze Zucchini Dry: Remove maximum moisture to prevent soggy tots and achieve crispy, firm texture with paper towels or clean kitchen cloth.
- Bind Ingredients Carefully: Use coconut flour strategically as a binding agent; add gradually to control moisture and prevent crumbly consistency.
- Uniform Size Matters: Use consistent tablespoon measurements to ensure even cooking and crispy exterior for all tots.
- Cooling Technique: Let tots rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to stabilize structure and enhance crunchiness before serving.
