- Prep Oven and Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grate the yellow squash, then use a clean kitchen towel to firmly squeeze out any excess liquid. This step is crucial for crispy tots!
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed grated squash, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until it’s well combined.
- Shape and Arrange: Use your hands or a spoon to shape the mixture into small, tot-sized pieces, about 1 inch in diameter. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tots are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the yellow squash tots hot, with a side of yogurt-based dip or ranch dressing. Garnish with chopped parsley if you like.
