Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 4 cups grated zucchini small pieces about 2-3 regular size zucchinis
- 2 eggs scrambled
- 1 TBSP graduated garlic
- 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Mozzarella shredded and chopped
- 1/2 cup of gluten-free breadcrumbs - I used Appel Foods Nut Crumbs - Natural Gluten-Free Italian flavor (Pecans, Almonds, and Cashews)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer (Affiliate Link) to 400 degrees.
- Scramble the two eggs in a large bowl.
- Cut off the ends of the zucchinis. With a grater, grate the zucchinis. Lay the grated zucchinis on a paper towel and cover it with paper towels. Press down to remove the excess. Swap out the paper towels and do it again. Let it sit out and change out the paper towels a few more times if you have time. It will need to sit for a few hours to get all the liquid out.
- Place the pressed shredded zucchini in the large bowl. Note: There will be more liquid in the grated zucchini.
- Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the bowl. Add a little more if it seems too watery.
- Add the granulated garlic, salt, and pepper to the large bowl.
- Now, use the knife and chop up the dairy-free mozzarella shredded. Add to the large bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients in the large bowl.
- Spray the air fryer (Affiliate Link) tray with nonstick spray. Be sure to coat the entire rack.
- Now, it's time to make the zucchini tots. Wash your hands. With a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and place it in hand. Over the large bowl, squeeze the mixture to remove any excess water into the bowl. Now, put it on the sprayed air fryer (Affiliate Link) rack. They should measure about 2 inches long and 1 inch or less in diameter.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Let it cook for a few minutes before enjoying.
