Crispy Cauliflower Waffles with Parmesan Cheese and Scallions
Recipe adapted from RDeliciousKitchen
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 cups cauliflower rice
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1⁄3 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper
- For toppings: Dash of hot sauce, guacamole or sliced avocado, chopped tomato and fried egg if desired
Directions
- Steam cauliflower rice in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a clean towel or paper towel and press to remove excess moisture. Add cauliflower, scallions, cheese, garlic, eggs and red pepper flakes to a bowl and mix together. Season with a dash of salt and pepper.
- Heat waffle iron. Spray with cooking spray. Add ¾ cup of cauliflower mixture to waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from waffle iron and repeat process until you’ve made 4 waffles.
- Top with hot sauce, avocado slices or guacamole and chopped tomato. For a more substantial meal, top with a fried or poached egg.
Note: I used frozen cauliflower rice but to make your own cauliflower rice, simply grate fresh cauliflower on a box grater or in a food processor. You can also purchase a variety of frozen vegetable rices like broccoli and sweet potato that may work as an alternative to cauliflower rice in this recipe.
