From what I know of Oto's, they need soft algae, I don't think they can eat leaves.

otos can eat Kale and apparently sushi grade seaweed as well. They also like lightly cooked broccoli and a little zuccini.
A friend told me his otos always starved to death so I went on a mission to planet catfish and got these ideas. My otos go nuts for the kale. Freeze the leaf first, to break cell walls, then put it in. Let it stay 2 days as the otos really love it when its good and mushed.

Very strange! I have never once EVER had to feed my oto's anything...not like if I tried, I would succeed anyway! 
Those little yo-yo loaches eat everything.
I have had 4 oto's in my 38-gallon for over a year now, and they are all very healthy. I don't scrape the algae off the back wall of my aquarium though, either, so they always have something to eat. They keep my tank clean, and I have never fed them once!

so far I have no visible algae, in part because of olive nerites and ottos, but also the luck of a newish tank. i want to keep them healthy

i feed zuchini, yellow squash, spinache leaves, peas, and carrots in my tanks. Mostly zuchini though.
