Ingredients:

  • 2 cups roasted butternut squash puree
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Combine the roasted butternut squash puree, beaten egg, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Stir in the Panko breadcrumbs until the mixture forms a soft dough.
  3. Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small cylinder about 1 inch long.
  4. Place the tots on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring at least one inch of space between each tot.
  5. Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the tots halfway through, until the crust is mahogany-colored and firm.
