You may be wondering, how healthy are veggie tots

When someone asks me this question about a recipe, I always start by saying that a recipe is really only as healthy as the ingredients that go into it (well..and the cooking method may count too).
If you add nutritionally questionable ingredients to your recipe, you probably already know what the result may be.

This recipe really only includes ingredients that you already know about.
There are no ingredient that you cannot pronounce and unlike may low carb veggie tot recipes, this recipe has no cheese or cauliflower in it!

 

Whenever I post a good air fryer recipe, someone always asks, how do I get the best out of my air fryer.

To be honest, I have two air fryers. I have the easy and inexpensive egg-shaped air fryer and then I have fancier multi use oven with air fryer (reader suggested this to me and I love it!).

Here are some air fryer tips that you can use in this recipe for veggie tots.

Leave space between the tots when baking as over-crowding the basket can result in uneven baking.
Midway through the air frying process, you should shake the air fryer baskets or flip what is getting air fried if you are using a multi-oven.
 

Here are some more helpful tips for air frying these tots.

This recipe is made with carrots and zucchini. They can be shredded or grated depending on the texture that you prefer.

Here are some more tips for you.

1. While this recipe calls for carrots and zucchini, you could sub in other vegetables (same amount when shredded or grated). Cauliflower and broccoli are popular choices for vegetables.
2. This is a vegan recipe that used flaxseed egg alternative. However, if you are not a vegan diet follower, you can omit the water and flaxseed and use two real eggs instead.
3. Yes, this recipe can be made in an actual oven instead of an air fryer. I would bake these for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping mid-way, or until they turn golden brown.

 

How to store left over veggie tots.

Allow the veggie tots to cool and store them in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to a week. You should also be able to freeze these tots, allowing them to defrost before reheating.
