Zucchini Tots is a simple and delicious recipe for a late-night snack. And its light on the calories.
Lately, I have been working later and later into the night. Right around 11:00pm, I get hit with cravings for a second dinner. At that time, it's too much of a hassle to cook a proper meal. But hard to focus on work with a churning belly. This year, I have enjoyed making these simple Zucchini Tots as a late-night snack. They are simple, delicious and doesn't take much effort (~15 minutes). All you need is flour, egg and zucchini.
Zucchini Tots are thinly-cut zucchini slices that are dipped in egg-wash and pan-fried. Typically, they are served at restaurants as a side banchan during lunch or dinner. If you enjoy this simple recipe, try getting a few more Korean pancakes ideas here.
Oh and one more thing. Make sure to make the soy-sauce dipping sauce. The two complement each other very nicely. Bon Appetit!
Zucchini Tots - Perfect late-night snack
Ingredients
- Zucchini - 1 whole
- Flour - ½ cup
- Eggs - 2
- Salt - 1 teaspoon
Dipping Sauce
- Soy sauce - 1 Tablespoon
- Vinegar - ½ teaspoon
- Lemon juice - Few drops optional
Instructions
- Wash the zucchini. Slice the zucchini into small round circles. Get a pinch of salt and sprinkle on each slice (on both sides). Let it rest for 5 minutes - zucchini will release water. Use a paper-towel to dab off the extra-moisture.
- Place zucchini in a Ziploc bag. Place flour into the bag and shake vigorously to get each slice thoroughly coated. Take out a mixing bowl and whisk eggs to make an egg-wash. Then shake-off excess flour from each zucchini slice and dip into the egg-wash.
- Pour oil into frying pan and put on medium low heat. Fry zucchini on both sides until light brown.
- For dipping sauce, mix soy sauce, vinegar and lemon together. Enjoy!

Fabulous! Actually these are so good i'm distracting myself from eating them all right now as my other dish still needs 3 minutes. These are lovely!!! I used a little less flour (40g) but other than that stuck to your recipe. I cannot believe something so simple can taste this good! ....ok and now i'm diving in 🙂
