Zucchini Vegetarian Waffles
These cheesy vegetarian waffles are packed with a great serving of zucchini! They are a savory twist on classic waffles and are perfect for lunch or dinner!
Servings: 5 mini waffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded zucchini about 1 large zucchini
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- salt/pepper to taste optional
Instructions
- Shred the zucchini using a cheese grater. I used the smallest sized holes on a box grater to get the mixture to be as smooth as possible, but if you prefer larger chunks of zucchini in the waffles, use a larger sized hole on the grater. You should end up with about 1 cup of packed shredded zucchini.
- Use your hands or a towel to squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible. You may also place the zucchini over a sieve and use the back of a spoon to press down on it to remove the moisture. Once you remove the moisture, you should end up with a little over 1/2 cup of packed shredded zucchini.
- Add the zucchini to a bowl along with the other ingredients. Mix well until combined. It may seem very dry to mix at first, but it will come together as you stir it all together. The mixture will be thick but should be well combined.
- Pour a thin layer of batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions. I used a mini waffle maker and it took about 3 minutes for each waffle to cook.
Notes
- The cook time will vary depending on your waffle maker. I used a mini waffle maker which took only 2-3 minutes to fully cook.
- These waffles are soft-textured and perfect for babies. If you prefer something a little crispier, toast them for a couple of minutes.
- Depending on the type of waffle maker you have to prevent sticking, you may need to spray your waffle iron with a little cooking spray. I love using this mini waffle maker or this multi mini waffle maker to make small eggo-sized waffles and no spraying is needed!
