- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent the tots from sticking during baking.
- Remove Moisture: Use your hands to squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini to ensure the tots hold together well and bake properly without excess water.

- Form Tots: Shape the mixture into tablespoon-sized tots using your hands and arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

Notes
- Squeezing out moisture from the zucchini is crucial to prevent soggy tots.
- You can customize the seasoning by adding herbs like thyme or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- For a crispier texture, flip the tots halfway through baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
