Power Waffle with Sun-dried Tomatoes, Basil and Ricotta
Didn’t know that savory waffles were even a thing? One bite, and you’ll be hooked for life! They may even win you over from the traditional maple syrup-topped buttermilk kind.
Our partner Ashley at Edible Perspective was inspired to create this crunchy, fluffy, utterly delicious (and gluten free) waffle by our tender Organic Power Greens. So while the waffle is literally exploding with greens, they don’t overpower its flavor or texture.
The base of the waffle uses a simple combination of quinoa flour, sweet rice flour and almond meal. The quinoa gives a bit of earthy flavor and — being just partially ground — adds a slight crunch. (See Notes below.)
As if it wasn’t enough to infuse the waffle, she added the Power greens to butter, too, along with some fresh basil. Yes, that’s right: green butter! With a pinch of salt and pepper, it’s the perfect topping for a savory waffle — though you really don’t need any topping at all.
Even if you’re not going gluten-free, you’re going to love this waffle!
