Zucchini Tots Haiku: "So here is the thing. These were just adorable like their namesake 'tot.'" My daughter and husband perked up at hearing "Tots!" w/ dinner and I thought these wouldn't disappoint as whether it's shredded potato or shredded zucchini we love both smooshed baked and/or fried in any shape. But these were just too heavily seasoned w/ too many unnecessary spices and herbs. I'm just realizing now that I used parmesan cheese instead of cheddar too and maybe I'm glad for that since all of the flavors seem to jive in a more Italian style than cheddar-ey. The texture was more soft and quiche-like even though I baked them closer to 30 min. so if I was to make a similar recipe I would drastically simplify the spices and herbs possibly increase the bread crumbs and bake a little longer. But they were cute and maybe would've been better suited as a quick hors d'oeuvres bite rather than a full side dish.
These were ok. There is a lot going on seasoning wise too much in my opinion. These took longer than 20 minutes to kind of crisp up. Thanks for the interesting recipe but if I were to make these again I'd cut back on the spices and use a blend of Italian cheeses.
Good flavor but needs more substance. Maybe I'll add extra bread crumbs next time. Also a tad overseasoned.
Loved this! I added pepper jack cheese for a little pop.
We liked these a lot! I was looking for something different to do with zucchini and these little gems fit the bill! Plus I love the herbs particularly rosemary and sage!
These were the perfect solution to a lot of zucchini from the garden. I used Seasoned Italian Breadcrumbs but otherwise followed the recipe
Delicious! I prepared the recipe for the first time and served the tots to my relatives as an appetizer. We all loved the flavors. Perfect recipe -- easy to make. I chose sharp provolone cheese and may try cheddar next time. Also after reading the reviews I baked them at 375 for 20 minutes and the texture was perfect.
Very tasty. I only put in oregano not all the other spices. My reason for only 4 stars was I expected the outside to get crunchier.
Needs a bit tweaking to individual tastes but easy enough to do. Good.
