Directions

Shred the zucchini on a box grater into a strainer. Set strainer over a bowl or in the sink and sprinkle with 2 tsp salt and let sit for at least 30 minutes, but up to an hour. Liquid will begin to sweat from the zucchini and we want as much of this liquid to drain away.

Turn on your waffle iron to medium high heat.

Once the zucchini has sweat for at least 30 minutes place zucchini in the center of a clean and dry cotton dish cloth or a piece of cheese cloth. Twist the zucchini into a ball to squeeze out as much of the water as possible from the zucchini. Really put some muscle into it and squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.

In a medium clean bowl add the zucchini along with the almond flour, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, baking powder, ½ tsp salt, garlic powder and the egg. Mix with a regular spoon until fully combined.

Take half of mixture and place into waffle iron or dash waffle bowl maker. Close the lid and set for about 2 minutes. You can go less or more depending on the heat of the waffle iron and your desired crispiness.
