These Greek zucchini tots are crispy, herby, and packed with Mediterranean flavor. Made with zucchini, feta, and fresh herbs, they’re a healthy, kid-friendly snack or appetizer that’s easy to bake or pan-fry. A delicious way to use up summer zucchini!

Ingredients

  • Zucchini, grated and well-drained
  • Feta cheese, crumbled
  • Eggs
  • Breadcrumbs or panko
  • Fresh dill, chopped
  • Green onions, finely sliced
  • Garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil (optional, for pan-frying)

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the drained zucchini with crumbled feta, eggs, breadcrumbs, dill, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Shape the mixture into small tots or patties using your hands or a scoop.
  4. For baking: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place tots on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  5. For pan-frying: Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook tots in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  6. Let rest briefly on paper towels. Serve warm with tzatziki, Greek yogurt, or lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Be sure to drain zucchini well to avoid soggy tots.
  • Add-ins like grated carrot, spinach, or lemon zest work well.
  • Use almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
  • Great served with tzatziki, plain Greek yogurt, or lemon aioli.
