Low-Carb Veggie Tots (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free)

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, and cauliflower rice. Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini to avoid soggy tots.

Make the Mixture: Add the almond flour, ground flaxseed (if using), nutritional yeast (if using), egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.

Shape the Tots: Using your hands, form the mixture into small tot shapes (about 1-2 inches long). Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake: Lightly spray the tots with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Serve: Serve the veggie tots with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, avocado dip, or dairy-free ranch.
