To make Vegan Zucchini Tater Tots, you will need:
- 2 medium zucchini (about 2 cups shredded)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (for cheesy flavor)
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal mixed with 6 tablespoons water (flax egg)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray or a drizzle of olive oil (for baking)
- Instructions
Prepare the Zucchini:
Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for ensuring crispy tater tots.
Make the Flax Egg:
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal with water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens. This will act as a binding agent for the tots.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, flax egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the Tater Tots:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a small amount of the zucchini mixture and shape it into a tot (about the size of a tablespoon). Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Bake:
Spray or drizzle the shaped tater tots with olive oil for extra crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked, let the tots cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, vegan ranch, or a spicy aioli.
