Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 160C/350F and line a baking tray with baking paper to prepare for baking the tots.
Prepare the zucchini: Use your hands to squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini to ensure the tots hold together and achieve a crispy texture when baked.
Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, cooked mashed sweet potato, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut flour, mixing well to integrate all components thoroughly.
Form the tots: Shape the mixture into tablespoon-sized tots using your hands, placing each tot on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart to allow even cooking.
Bake the tots: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the tots are slightly golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the sweet potato zucchini tots warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

These tots freeze well. Freeze before cooking and be sure to separate them to avoid sticking together.
They can be frozen for up to 3 months stored in a large zip lock bag.
Make sure to squeeze out moisture from zucchini thoroughly to prevent soggy tots.
For best texture, bake until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
