Tips:
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the zucchini into even, thin rounds. This will help them cook evenly.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can also use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin zucchini strips. Just be careful not to slice them too thinly, or they will break apart when you cook them.
- Coat the zucchini slices or strips in a mixture of flour, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs before frying. This will help them get crispy and golden brown.
- You can also add other seasonings to the flour mixture, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before cooking the zucchini tots. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Serve the zucchini tots hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, ketchup, and honey mustard are all great options.
