Baked Zucchini Tots

I just love zucchini!  This past month my Dad and a good friend have been giving me tons of them.  Holy smokes.  When it rains, it pours.  So we made a freezer full of zucchini bread and chocolate zucchini bread (yum!)  We grilled enough to feed a small country =o) and I really, really wanted to make these Baked Zucchini Tots that I saw over on Christy's blog a little while back.  They looked so good!

I'm trying to lose a couple of pounds so I baked these, like Christy did.  It took everything in me not to deep fry them.  Because I love, love, love deep fried food.  But maybe that's why I need to lose a few pounds?  That's a discussion for later, I think.

These were pretty tasty, even baked =o)

I doubled the recipe because I figured I needed more than just 12 of them.

Baked Zucchini Tots

Source:From Glitter to Gumdrops

* 1 cup shredded zucchini

* 1 egg

* 1/4 cup diced sweet onion (or you can use yellow onion)

* 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded

* 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs

Mix all of the ingredients together.  I didn't have shredded Parmesan cheese so I used 1/2 grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 shredded mozzarella cheese.

Scoop mixture into a greased mini muffin pan.

Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and set on the top.

Don't they look wonderful?

Enjoy!
