Ingredients for the waffles
- 2 medium zucchini, coarsely grated
- 120g grated cheddar

- 90 g grated Parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- approx. 60 g coconut flour (more if necessary)
- Oil for greasing the waffle iron
Preparation of the zucchini waffles with cheddar
As with any recipe using shredded zucchini, the first thing you should do is squeeze out any excess moisture from the vegetable. Since zucchini has a very high water content, this step is crucial so that the waffles come out crispy instead of soggy.
To do this, put the zucchini shavings in a sieve and sprinkle with a little salt. Allow to rest for between 10 and 30 minutes and then place the zucchini in a clean tea towel to wring out the moisture.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl and fold in the remaining ingredients except for the coconut flour. Add coconut flour a spoonful at a time until the waffle batter reaches a good, viscous consistency.
Preheat the waffle iron and grease it well.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron in portions and bake the zucchini waffles with cheddar cheese for about 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
The dough makes approx. 4 waffles.
A notice:You can also use the mixture for zucchini buffers! Simply heat a pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and form the dough into buffers. If you are a fan of Greek cuisine, you will also miss our recipe forZucchini fritters with feta and tzatzikinot!
