Savory Vegetable Waffles (Print Version)

# 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:

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

01 - These savory waffles pair perfectly with herb-infused sour cream or Greek yogurt.
02 - 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.
