Ingredients

  • 2 medium (approx. 220g) Carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1 medium/small (approx. 265g) Sweet Potato, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup (125g) Cheese, grated (shredded)
  • 70g (½ cup) Plain Flour (All Purpose Flour)
  • 1 Spring onion (scallion/green onion) finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 Eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

  • Add the grated carrot, sweet potato, cheese, spring onion, parsley and flour into a large mixing bowl and stir until combined. SEE NOTE 1
  • Add the eggs and mix well.
  • Spray waffle machine with oil (if needed) and heat to a medium setting (if it has settings.)
  • Portion out 1 tablespoon to 1 cup of the mixture, depending on your waffle iron's size. Place it in the centre of the waffle iron or each section (adjusting the amount accordingly), then gently spread it towards the edges. Close the waffle iron and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through in the middle. Once done, carefully remove them from the waffle machine and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
  • Repeat until all the mixture has been used up.

Notes

  1. I used a food processor to grate the vegetables which I believe gives the best results. If you use a box grater then the vegetables can become mushy and clump together. This will depend on how sharp your box grater is and the force you use. If very wet, I recommend squeezing some of the juice out (using a cheese cloth / clean dish cloth) before mixing with the flour and egg.  
  2. You can easily change the vegetables you use in this recipe. I have, in the past, tried a mixture of grated onion, capsicum (bell pepper), zucchini (courgette).   If adding other vegetables I recommend squeezing the juice out before mixing with the flour and egg.
  3. This mixture will not spread like regular waffle batter.
