Notes

Ensure zucchini is well-drained to avoid soggy waffles. Customize with your favorite keto-friendly vegetables or spices. Serve with avocado or a side salad for a complete keto meal.

 

Serving Ideas

These waffles shine on their own but can also pair well with:

  • A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • Slices of avocado for extra creaminess.
  • A fried egg on top for a protein boost.
  • A side salad to keep things fresh and light.

They also make great sandwich bases if you want to switch things up. What’s your go-to topping?

Tips for Keto Vegetable Waffles Recipe

  • Don’t skip squeezing the zucchini dry; too much moisture ruins the crispiness.
  • Use a non-stick waffle iron or spray it well to avoid sticking.
  • If you want extra crunch, add a tablespoon of crushed pork rinds to the batter.
  • Experiment with spices like smoked paprika or cumin for a flavor twist.
  • Leftovers reheat well in a toaster oven to bring back that crispy texture.

These little tweaks make a big difference. I learned the hard way when my first batch turned soggy!

Leftovers

If you have any waffles left (big if), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven to keep them crispy. Avoid the microwave unless you like soggy waffles—trust me, it’s a no-go.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting to dry the veggies properly.
  • Overfilling the waffle iron, causing batter to spill.
  • Not preheating the waffle iron enough, leading to uneven cooking.
  • Using too much flour, which can make waffles dense.
  • Skipping seasoning; these waffles need a good balance of salt and spices.
