#zucchinitots

These Easy Pizza Zucchini Tots are a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional pizza bites. Packed with flavor and nutrients from zucchini, they make a perfect snack or appetizer for any occasion.

Ingredients: 2 cups shredded zucchini. 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup almond flour. 1 large egg. 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/4 cup low-carb marinara sauce. Pepperoni slices optional topping. Fresh basil leaves optional topping.

Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Shred the zucchini into a clean kitchen towel, then squeeze out as much water as you can. Shred the zucchini and add it to a bowl with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, almond flour, egg, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Mix everything together well. Put the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and shape it into small tots or balls. After the oven is hot, bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit. Low-carb marinara sauce should be served on the side to dip. You can add pepperoni slices and fresh basil leaves on top before serving if you want to.
