Keto Chicken Zucchini Tots
Ingredients
- 8 ounces shredded zucchini
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 lb ground chicken breast
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Place the zucchini in a sieve set in the sink or over a large bowl, and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine. Let drain 1 hour, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, chicken, garlic, cheddar, and coconut flour. Season well with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Use about 1 1/2 tbsp at a time to form into little tots.
- Spray the rack of an air fryer with coconut oil spray and place as many tots as will fit without crowding them. Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Air fry at 400F for 7 to 10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Alternatively, you can bake them on a rack in the oven (spray the rack), set over a baking sheet. Bake at 400F for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve with ranch dressing as a fun dipping sauce!
