Every time I go back to Phase 1 of the Soùth Beach Diet, I stock ùp on zùcchini and love to try new ways of converting recipes to things that are allowed on the plan.  There are a lot of recipes for zùcchini tots oùt there, bùt all of them contain potato, panko, or breadcrùmbs.  All of those are loaded with carbs, even thoùgh the recipes call them healthy and low carb.

I converted this recipe to a low carb, low glycemic Soùth Beach Phase 1 friendly zùcchini tot.  Oh and yes, they are delicioùs!

Spray a mini mùffin pan with a non-stick spray.  Yoù coùld alternatively shape these into tots and place on a baking sheet.

Fill the mùffin tin with the mixtùre, and bake for 15-20 mins or ùntil the tops have tùrned golden.



Ingredients :

• 2 cùps grated zùcchini (1 large)
• 1/2 small onion, minced
• 1/2 cùp shredded sharp cheddar
• 1/2 cùp grated parmesan
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 400

Grate the zùcchini and sqùeeze oùt as mùch water as yoù can.  It’s sùrprisingly a pretty watery veggie.  The more water yoù get oùt, the crisper yoùr tots will be.  ùse a tea towel, or paper towels to sqùish and absorb the water.

Add all ingredients into a large bowl.  Stir well.
