Classification
NSW: EVERYDAY ACT: GREEN
Ingredients
Method
Preheat fan-forced oven to 220°C.
Strain grated carrot and zucchini separately to remove excess liquid. Mix together in a large bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and mix until well combined.
To make the tots you will need two tablespoons. With a spoon in each hand, scoop a heaped amount using one spoon. Then using the second spoon, scoop the mixture off the first spoon. Do this back and forth a few times until a tot shape is formed.
Place tots on tray then sprinkle with extra bread crumbs to lightly coat.
Lightly spray the tots with cooking oil spray.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Cooking time may be longer if baking multiple trays at once.
Remove from oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Best served warm with dip such as Greek yoghurt or tzatziki.
Variations
- Substitute the carrot or zucchini with other types of vegetables such as peas, corn or broccoli. Using vegetables that are in season can keep costs down.
Tips
- Save time by blending the carrot and zucchini in a food processor instead of grating them.
