Instructions

Remove moisture from the shredded zucchini using a tea towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, mix the dehydrated zucchini with panko, cheddar cheese, egg, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Scoop the mixture with a tablespoon and shape it into tater tot forms, ensuring they hold together.
Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil, then place the tots in the basket. Spray the tops with more avocado oil.
Cook at 375ºF for 8 minutes, flipping halfway. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Serve with ranch, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For even crispier tots, ensure the zucchini is thoroughly dried before mixing.
Feel free to add herbs or spices for an extra flavor boost.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer.
