Zucchini Tots

Well, I've gone on Weight Watchers once again.  Sigh.  I know that's the best way for me to lose weight because you can eat whatever you want.  That being said, I'm trying to find the smallest point recipes that I can so I can eat more!  The other thing that needs to be said is...I hate zucchini!  It's almost always mushy and watery and yucky.  I WILL eat it, but just don't like to cook with it, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found this recipe for zucchini "tots" on Skinnytaste.com AND also on simpletasty.recipes.  Enjoy! It's 2 SP for 3 tots.

INGREDIENTS

• cooking spray
• 1 packed cup grated zucchini
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 medium onion, minced (not grated)
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs, or gluten-free crumbs
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt and black pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400°F.  Spray 12 holes in a mini muffin tin
• 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 into muffin tins, filling to the top and packing into each hole.  Cook for 15 minutes until brown.
