Summer Squash Tots

Healthy tots from summer squash, cheddar, breadcrumbs, onion & garlic.
Ingredients:
  • 3 small summer squashes (about 1.25 pounds)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese or other meltable cheese
  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 TBS finely chopped fresh dill
Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or grease the baking sheet with olive oil.
  2. Grate the squash on a fine grater or use a food processor. Add ½ teaspoon salt
  3. and mix it together. Put the grated squash in a colander. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Use your hands to squeeze all the extra liquid from the grated squash in the colander. Discard the liquid.
  5. Combine all the tot ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. The mixture should be sticky and wet
  6. like a thick paste. If it is too wet
  7. add extra breadcrumbs. Form small tots with your hands (about 1.5-2 tablespoons squash mixture per tot). Tip: dip your hands into a bowl of cold water in between every few tots – this will help keep the squash mixture from sticking to your hands!
  8. Arrange the tots on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Bake at 400F for 25 minutes
  10. or until golden on top and lightly browned on the bottom.
  11. Allow to rest 5 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet
  12. this will help prevent them from sticking.
