Instructions
Making Air Fryer Zucchini Tots is a simple process. Follow these steps to create your own delicious batch:
1. Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
3. Form Tot Shapes: Using your hands, form small oval or round shapes out of the mixture, about the size of traditional tater tots.
4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange Tots: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the zucchini tots in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
6. Air Fry: Cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping the tots halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
7. Cool Slightly: After cooking, remove the tots from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
8. Serve: Enjoy them hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
