Equipment

  • Waffle Iron
  • Grater

Ingredients
  

Waffle Base

  • 1 medium zucchini grated (about 7 oz)
  • 1/2 tsp salt divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 oz sharp cheddar grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced or pressed
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Place your grated zucchini in a colander and toss with 1/4 tsp of salt. Let it drain for about an hour, then squeeze it firmly in a clean kitchen towel to get out as much water as possible.
  • Get your waffle iron ready by preheating it and brushing the plates with a little melted butter or cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the squeezed zucchini, cheddar cheese, minced garlic, the remaining 1/4 tsp of salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Stir in the almond flour and baking powder, then pour in the heavy cream, mixing until everything is fully combined.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter onto your hot waffle iron, gently spreading it out. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the rest of your batter.
