Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, minced onion, shredded cheddar cheese, panko crumbs, and kosher salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Preheat your waffle iron. Once hot, lightly spray it with oil to prevent sticking.

  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the zucchini waffle from the iron and set it aside. Keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter, spraying the waffle iron with oil as needed.
  6. Serve the savory zucchini waffles warm, garnished with your favorite toppings if desired.
