Troubleshooting

  • Batter too wet: add more flour
  • Too dry: add more grated zucchini

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Do I need to squeeze the vegetables?
No, the moisture is bound by the flour. If the zucchini is very watery, you can lightly squeeze it.
→ Which cheese works best?
Grated Gouda or Emmental cheese provide good flavor. They make the waffles nice and crispy.
→ Can I pre-bake them?
Yes, keep them warm in the oven at 212°F or reheat briefly later. They taste best fresh though.
→ Are they suitable for freezing?
Yes, stack them between parchment paper and freeze. Recrisp in the toaster or oven before serving.
→ What other vegetables can I use?
Pumpkin, parsnips or sweet potatoes also work well. Maintain similar proportions of ingredients.

Difficulty: Easy

Cuisine: European

Yield: 15 Servings (15 waffles)

Dietary: Vegetarian

Ingredients

→ Fresh vegetables

01 3 medium potatoes (about 300g/10.5oz)
02 3-4 medium carrots (about 300g/10.5oz)
03 2 medium zucchini (about 300g/10.5oz)
04 1 yellow onion, finely diced
05 2 garlic cloves, minced

→ Binding ingredients

06 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
07 2½ cups (250g) shredded cheese (cheddar or a mix works well)
08 3 large eggs
09 1½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
10 2½ teaspoons salt
11 Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 01

Peel the potatoes and carrots. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Rinse and chop the parsley, discarding the tough stems.

Step 02

Grate the potatoes, zucchini, and carrots using a food processor with a grating attachment or by hand using a box grater. If your mixture seems very wet (especially from the zucchini), you can gently squeeze out some moisture with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 03

In a large bowl, combine the grated vegetables with the chopped onion, garlic, eggs, flour, shredded cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated and forms a thick batter.

Step 04

Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray. For each waffle, use about 1½ tablespoons of batter (adjust based on your waffle iron size). Cook until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Serve warm with herb-infused sour cream and a side salad if desired.

Notes

  1. These savory waffles pair perfectly with herb-infused sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  2. A food processor makes quick work of grating all the vegetables, but a box grater works just as well if you don't mind the extra effort.
