Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 15 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 g plain flour all-purpose
- 30 g melted butter
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater.
- Sprinkle with salt, stir, and let sit for 15–20 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Squeeze the grated zucchini well using your hands or a clean towel to remove excess liquid.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini with egg, Parmesan, flour, and melted butter. Stir until smooth and thick.
- Preheat your waffle maker and brush lightly with butter if needed.
- Spoon the batter into the waffle maker and spread it evenly (do not overfill).
- Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the waffles are golden and crispy.
- Serve warm with Greek yogurt, sour cream, or your favorite dip.
Notes
Be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini for crispy waffles.
You can add garlic powder, fresh herbs, or a little grated carrot for extra flavor.
These waffles reheat well in a toaster — great for meal prep.
