ZUCCHINI WAFFLES (GREEN WAFFLES)



Zucchini Waffles (Green Waffles) image

A gluten-free waffle using zucchini and dry potato flakes--think green eggs and ham. Serve with sour cream, tart jam, onion chip dip, or applesauce. They can be breakfast, brunch, lunch, or a side dish. Easier than standing at the stove and frying zucchini pancakes. I like them with my homemade rhubarb jam.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 small zucchini, scrubbed, not peeled (about 8 oz.)
1/4 lb sharp cheddar cheese
yogurt or sour cream, for topping

Steps:

  • Pour the olive oil into a small heavy skillet and warm over very low heat.
  • Add in the shallot and garlic; stir to coat with oil.
  • Heat for 1 minute, just until you can smell the warming ingredients.
  • Remove the pan from stove and cool briefly.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs in a bowl.
  • Add the contents of the skillet to the buttermilk mixture and whisk vigorously to combine; reserve.
  • Preheat your waffle iron; if you want to hold the finished waffles until serving time, preheat oven to 200°.
  • In a big bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Grate the zucchini and cheddar into the bowl; mix with a rubber spatula (or your hands) to distribute evenly.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir with the spatula until just combined.
  • Lightly butter or spray the grids of your iron, if needed.
  • Brush or spray the grids again only if subsequent waffles stick.
  • Spoon out 3/4 cup of batter (or slightly more than your iron's manufacturer recommends) onto the hot grids.
  • Use a metal spatula or wooden spoon to smooth the batter almost to the edge of the grids.
  • Close the lid and bake until browned and crisp; serve the waffles immediately or keep them, in a single layer, on a rack in the preheated oven while you make the rest of the batch.
  • Top w/ yogurt or sour cream; serve with side salad for a nice lunch.

Tips:

  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini to cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini: This will help to prevent the waffles from becoming too soggy.
  • Use a good quality waffle maker: This will help to ensure that the waffles are cooked evenly and have a crispy exterior.
  • Don't overfill the waffle maker: This will help to prevent the waffles from overflowing and making a mess.
  • Serve the waffles immediately: Waffles are best served hot and fresh out of the waffle maker.

Conclusion:

Zucchini waffles are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and they can be made with a variety of different ingredients. With a little planning and preparation, you can make delicious zucchini waffles that the whole family will enjoy.
