Oven Fried Zucchini Tots

This recipe is a twist on regular tater tots. Zucchini is shredded and mixed with grated onion, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, a beaten egg, salt and pepper. The zucchini mixture is shaped into tiny logs and rolled in more breadcrumbs. Then the tots are placed on a baking sheet and baked in the oven.
