Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim off the ends.
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. You should end up with about 1 cup of grated zucchini.
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy chaffle.
- Mix the Chaffle Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, almond flour, egg, Parmesan cheese, and shredded cheese.
- Stir the mixture until well combined. The batter should be slightly thick and hold together.
- Cook the Chaffles:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a brush of oil to prevent sticking.
- Spoon a portion of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out slightly. The amount of batter will depend on the size of your waffle iron, but aim for about 1/4 to 1/3 cup per chaffle.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Carefully remove the cooked chaffle from the waffle iron. Allow it to cool slightly before using it as a sandwich base.
- Fill your chaffle with your favorite sandwich ingredients. The sturdy texture of the chaffle makes it perfect for holding together all your fillings.
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Cheese Variety: Feel free to experiment with different types of shredded cheese in the batter for varied flavors and textures.
- Toppings: You can add spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs to the batter for extra flavor.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store the chaffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in a toaster or oven to regain some crispiness.
Enjoy your zucchini chaffle sandwich! It’s a fantastic low-carb alternative that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture.
