Zucchini Tots

Zucchini Tots (adapted from skinnytaste.com):

• 1 cup packed grated zucchini 
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 medium onion, minced
• 1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.  Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Grate the zucchini into a clean dish towel until you have 1 packed cup.  Wring all of the excess water out of the zucchini, there will be a lot of water. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture in your hands and roll into small ovals. Place on the cookie sheet and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, turning halfway though cooking until golden. 

*I found that I needed to add a lot of pepper to improve the flavor. I reheated them once from the fridge and I had to use the oven to keep the crisp.
