Using a clean dish towel, shred the zucchini until you have a tightly packed cup. Be sure to thoroughly squeeze out as much moisture as possible, as there will be a significant amount. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together all the ingredients and adjust the flavor with salt and pepper according to your preference.

Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into small oval forms using your hands. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking process until they achieve a golden color. This recipe yields 16 tots.
