Spaghetti Squash Tater Tots
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups packed cooked spaghetti squash
1 cup panko bread crumbs (please use panko for best results; if using regular bread crumbs, you will need to adjust and use less)
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 large egg
DIRECTIONS:
Roughly chop spaghetti squash into small pieces so that it resembles shredded squash. In a large bowl, add all ingredients. Mix with a spoon until everything is thoroughly combined and all the of the mixture is moistened.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of squash batter and squeeze tightly between the palm of your hand a few times. This should release some liquid which will further moisten your mixture as well as allowing the mixture to compact and stick together easily. Gently shape to resemble a cylinder. Place onto a baking sheet and repeat with remaining mixture. Space tots about 1/2 inch apart. You should be able to make about 25 tots.
Bake for about 18-20 minutes until bottoms are golden brown and crispy. Flip over and bake for another 3-5 minutes. Serve warm with dipping sauce of your choice.
