Equipment

Ingredients

to make the waffle batter

2 boiled potatoes
¾ cup all purpose flour
¼ cup rice flour
2 tablespoon melted vegan butter
3 tablespoon hummus
½ cup chopped onions
4 cloves garlic
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon Italian seasonings
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
2 cups water
Salt
Cooking spray

Instructions

In a bowl, add boiled potatoes and mash them with a fork. Alternatively, you can even grate them.
Then add any vegan herb butter, crushed black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Next, add the hummus.
Then add Italian seasonings and cilantro.
Now add the all-purpose flour and rice flour to the bowl.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onions to the bowl.
Followed by water or vegan buttermilk. Add salt at this point. Mix all these together and make a thick batter. Add more water as needed to do so.
Preheat the waffle maker, with a cooking spray grease the molds. Pour a ladle full of batter into each mold of the waffle maker. Ensure it spreads evenly and all over.
Cook as per the maker's instructions. Once it gets the desired brown color, take them carefully. It could take 4-5 minutes.

Notes

Feel free to boost the nutrition of these savory vegan waffles by adding extra veggies to the batter—grated or minced zucchini, carrots, onions, cabbage, or bell peppers. When seasoning, keep in mind that if your vegan butter and hummus already contain salt, adjust the added salt in the batter accordingly to avoid over-seasoning. For a richer flavor and tender texture, you can replace water with plain buttermilk or chaas (vegan versions work well too). Instead of sprinkling cheese on top, you can also incorporate sharp cheddar (or vegan shredded cheese) directly into the batter for an even more flavorful waffle. If you don't have hummus, use tahini.
