AIR FRYER ZUCCHINI TOTS pinit View Gallery 5 photos

These Air Fryer Cheesy Zucchini Tots are my favorite Summer appetizer!! They are low calorie, gluten free, high protein, and SO yummy! This requires very minimal, basic ingredients as well. The air fryer gives them the perfect texture. Another great Summer appetizer that I LOVE are my Goat Cheese Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers.

Health Benefits of These Tots

  • Gluten Free – I use almond flour instead of bread crumbs so this recipe is gluten free!
  • Vegetarian Friendly – These tots are vegetarian friendly and have a decent amount of protein! If you are vegan, you can omit the cheese or substitute for a vegan friendly substitute.
  • No Preservatives – Homemade is better for that single reason!!!

Ingredients

  • 3 zucchini, grated & drained (mine weighed 13 oz after draining)
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. corn starch
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper

How To Store Leftovers

You can store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I like to reheat mine in the oven or air fryer to remain that crispy outer edge!

If I don't like raw veggies and want to roast my peppers how do I do that?

Slice the peppers in half and line them face down on a baking sheet. Bake at 400F for 40 minutes. Allow to cool, then slice and add to your salad!
