Healthy air Fried Zucchini Tater Tots Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

2 Russet Potatoes, Large (Peeled)

3 Cups of Shredded Zucchini (About 2-3 Large Zucchini)

1.5 Teaspoons of Salt

1 Teaspoon Each of Garlic Powder + Onion Powder

Olive Oil Flavored Cooking Spray

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Grate the potatoes on a box grater over a large bowl.  Grate the zucchini in another bowl. Place the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or flour sack towel to squeeze out the liquid. Once you squeeze all the liquid out, put the zucchini in the potato bowl. Add the salt and garlic + onion powder. Mix it all together with your hands.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out about a tablespoon of the tater tot mixture and form into a cylinder (tater tot shape).  Put all the tots on the cookie sheet and then place in your freezer for 10 minutes for them to get firm.
  3. Remove from the freezer and spray the tots with olive oil flavored cooking spray.  Sprinkle a bit more salt onto the tots.
  4. Set your air fryer to 400 degrees. Working in batches, place the tots in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes or longer if you like them to be deep golden brown.
  5. This makes about 30 tater tots (depending on the size of your zucchini, potatoes and how big you formed them). Regardless, if you are on the WW Purple Plan, the entire recipe is 0 SmartPoints. If you are on the WW Blue or WW Green Plan, 6 zucchini tots are only 3 SP. Enjoy!

FAQs about healthy air fried zucchini tater tots:

  • Can I make these Healthy Air Fried Zucchini Tots in the oven?  Absolutely! No air fryer – no problem. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. After removing the tater tots from the freezer and spraying with the olive oil flavored cooking spray, bake for about 30 minutes while flipping the tots halfway through baking.
  • What can I use to dip these Zucchini Tater Tots into?  My favorite is Sriracha Sauce, G. Hughes Sugar Free Ketchup with some Tabasco Sauce added, and 0 SmartPoint Walden Farms Chipotle Ranch Dressing.
  • Can I make these Zucchini Tater Tots ahead of time?  Absolutely! After baking, once they are cooled, put them in an airtight container separating each layer with parchment paper.  Reheat in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. These keep up to 1 month in the freezer.
