The batter for savoury waffles can be prepared using a variety of vegetables. Try out the following possibilities: sweet potato, carrots, grated onion, grated zucchini, grated bell pepper, grated squash, corn, peas, and spinach.
Make sure you squeeze out the juice of the vegetables; otherwise, the mixture will be too wet. Place the grated vegetables on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze as much juice as you can.
Here are the ingredients you will need to prepare the best savoury waffle batter.
Eggs. The structure of the batter is determined by the eggs. They also provide flavour and depth.
Milk. Milk provides moisture to the waffle batter and acts as a binding agent between eggs and dry ingredients. You can use plant-based milk instead of cow's milk.
Greek yoghurt. Waffles can be made more filling and protein-packed by using Greek yoghurt in your batter.
Self-raising flour. You can avoid pre-made products and make your own self-raising flour.
Olive oil. Waffle batter always benefits from a little oil. Fat contributes to the smooth consistency of the batter and results in airy waffles. In addition, it contributes to the crispy exterior. Vegetable oil with a neutral taste will work just as well if you don't like the taste of olive oil.
Cheese. The shredded cheese in the batter makes these waffles incredibly savoury. You can use a Mexican cheese and Cheddar cheese combination, or keep it simple with only one type of cheese and use Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Asiago, or any cheese of your choice that melts well.
Green onions. Adds a splash of colour and a fragrant note to the waffles.
