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 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.

Savory 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 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 waffle iron on high setting. You will want to test the timing out with your maker.I found my waffles took a bit longer than 1 cycle. They will release easily from the maker when done.
