Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Switch out the Parmesan cheese for sharp cheddar to give your zucchini tots a cheesier twist.
  • tip 2
    Make a large batch of zucchini tots and freeze them after they have been shaped. Pull them out for busy weeknights.
  • tip 3
    Try serving Oven-Fried Zucchini Tots with warm marinara sauce instead of ketchup.
