Whichever spice profile fits you, these ‘tots’ are a great way to feel like you’re eating a starch but really, you’re snacking or side-dishing on heart-healthy veggies.
Two notes:
Unseasoned, Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs can be hard to find,

Also…I despise sun-dried Tomatoes so I was surprised that I loved this recipe;
Serve up this heart-healthy appetizer as a crudite at your next dinner party. It’s delicious and easy – and when I made it last night, I got many requests for the recipe. Thanks to Dana White for yet another recipe winner. My version uses a lot more garlic (you roast it so you can really up the garlic ante for depth of flavor without garlic aftertaste) and also more lemon juice.
For a no-chopping roasted eggplant dip, try my Going Lo-Co Roasted Eggplant, Garlic and Sundried Tomato Dip.
