Savory Sweet Potato Chive Waffles

I hate to repeat myself but for these, I will…I love waffles!!! They’re the perfect, compact, grab and go breakfast food. They look lovely on a plate all stacked up. They’re easy to make, and they really hit the spot for me when I’m craving something with bread like consistency.

I came up with this recipe the week before Ironman Lake Placid and we were looking to bank as many carbs as possible. I was so excited to combine some tasty veggies with a bunch of fresh chives from my garden. The result was delicious and I could see using these waffles as a base for all things saucy in the cold weather months like a stroganoff, stew, chili, etc. However, when I made them this morning, they were the perfect foundation for some fried eggs with runny yolks and bacon.

Savoury Sweet Potato-Chive Paleo Waffles

Peel and chop sweet potato then boil or microwave until soft
Peel zucchini
Combine the sweet potato and zucchini in a bowl and blend with an immersion blender (I did not cook the zucchini)
Add almond butter and mix until smooth
Whisk in 2 eggs and Arrowroot powder
Sprinkle in and combine chives and salt with batter
Cook in a waffle iron on high setting. You will want to test the timing out with your maker. I found my waffles took longer than 1 cycle. They will release easily from the maker when done.
