Zucchini Tots

Got lots of zucchini growing in your garden?  On a diet and missing potatoes?  Here is a delicious alternative that is a carb fake out!  They are healthy, tasty, low calorie, low carb goodness in two bites!  To make this recipe you will need:
Cooking Spray
1 cup packed grated zucchini
1 large egg
1/4 medium onion, minced
1/4 cup grated reduced fat cheddar cheese
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp kosher salt and black pepper to taste


1.)  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a foil-lined cookie sheet with cooking spray.
2.)  Grate the zucchini into a clean dish towel until you have 1 packed cup.  Wring all of the excess water out of the zucchini. There will be a lot of water. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3.)  Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture in your hands and roll into small ovals. Place on the cookie sheet and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, turning halfway though cooking until golden brown.
