Zucchini Tots

From SkinnyTaste.com, the easy-to-make tots are perfect little sides for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

1 cup zucchini, grated

1 large egg

¼ medium onion, diced

¼ cup reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, grated

¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs

salt and pepper to taste

cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray mini muffin tin* with cooking spray.

Grate the zucchini into a clean dish towel or paper towel.  Wring all of the excess water out of the zucchini. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper.

Fill each muffin section to the top, pushing down on the filling with your spoon so its nice and compacted; then they won't fall apart when you take them out of the tin.

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden.

*They can also baked on a cookie sheet:

Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture in your hands and roll into small ovals.  Place on cookie sheet and bake 16-18, turning halfway through cooking until golden brown.
