Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped

1 cup frozen hash browns, thawed

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use Italian seasoned or panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust according to spice preference)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 large egg, beaten

Cooking spray

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Allow it to warm up for approximately 5 minutes.

    Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, thawed hash browns, breadcrumbs, grated mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, black pepper, and the beaten egg. Use a spatula or your hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined.

      Shape the Tots: With your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a compact tot form. Continue this process until all the mixture is shaped into tots, and arrange them on a lined tray or plate.

        Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray the tops of the formed tots with cooking spray. This will help achieve a nice crispy exterior during cooking.

          Air Fry the Tots: Place the tots in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don't touch each other to allow even cooking. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. Air fry the tots for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are beautifully golden brown and crispy.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the tots from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two. Serve these delicious bites with a side of spicy marinara or a cool ranch dipping sauce for an extra flavor kick. Enjoy your crunchy, flavorful creations!
