Ingredients

Waffle Ingredients

1 small zucchini (approximately 7 ounces)
1 large egg
50 grams (1.75 ounces) rice flour
2 grams (0.07 ounces) granulated garlic
20 grams (0.7 ounces) ghee
Salt to taste
Dill to taste

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Zucchini

Start by washing the 1 small zucchini thoroughly under running water. Pat it dry with a kitchen towel.

Then, grate the zucchini using a cheese grater or food processor and place it in a bowl. Use a clean kitchen cloth to squeeze out the excess moisture, as it helps to achieve a crispier texture in your waffles.

Step 2

Mix the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, add the grated zucchini and crack in 1 large egg. Stir these together until they are well combined.

Next, incorporate 50 grams (1.75 ounces) of rice flour, 2 grams (0.07 ounces) of granulated garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix all the ingredients until you have a smooth batter. You may also add chopped dill according to your taste preference.

Step 3

Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions. Once hot, brush the plates with 20 grams (0.7 ounces) of ghee to prevent sticking.

Pour a generous amount of the zucchini mixture onto the waffle maker and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually 3-5 minutes. Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a plate.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Once your zucchini waffles are ready, you can enhance them further by placing lettuce leaves, sliced smoked salmon, and a poached egg on top.

Serve them warm and enjoy a delicious and nutritious breakfast that is perfect for any time of the day!
