These crisp and savory cheesy zucchini tots are so easy and fun to make. They’re a delicious snack that the whole family will love!
My garden is the absolute joy of my life every summer. I’ve been growing a garden every summer for the eight years we’ve lived in our house, and while I’m still definitely a novice, my confidence in my gardening skills grows every year. It always feels like magic to me to watch all of my little plants grow, day by day. They started out so tiny, and right now we’re getting close to being able to enjoy all of the bounty from the garden. I can’t wait! Despite my best efforts, I’ve never been super successful at growing zucchini. I usually get only a handful of them every year, so they feel extra precious to me. These cheesy zucchini tots are one of my family’s favorite zucchini recipes. They’re kid-friendly, cheesy, and super easy to make!
It’s really important to remove some of the excess moisture from the zucchini, or your little tots will be soggy instead of crisp. Grating the zucchini into a clean dish cloth and then wringing it out works well for me. I like to use a combination of sharp cheddar and Swiss cheese in my tots, but you can definitely use whatever kind of cheese you like (Colby jack, mozzarella, or even parmesan cheese would be delicious. They’re extra delicious with a little marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping!
These zucchini tots are perfect for an easy (and wholesome) snack, or as a side dish (my kids love them alongside chicken nuggets). They’re a delicious way to enjoy your fresh garden zucchini!
