Ingredients

• 2 zucchini, shredded
• 2 carrots, peeled and shredded
• 1/2 cup Panko*
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Pinch of cajun seasoning
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

2. Place grated zucchini in a colander over the sink. Add salt and gently toss to combine; let sit for 10 minutes. Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, drain zucchini completely, removing as much water as possible.

3. Transfer zucchini to a large bowl. Stir in carrots, Panko, eggs, cheeses, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and cajun seasoning; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

4. Form zucchini into tots and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

5. Place into oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 16-18 minutes, flipping during the last 10 minutes of cooking time.

6. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.*
