When summer veggies are pouring in from the garden or the farmer’s market, it’s normal to start sneaking zucchini into muffins and cakes. It’s when you start needing a recipe that will happily accept red peppers, carrots, green beans, and snap peas that you might get stumped. Now there’s the summer veggie waffle — a savory number that will work with nearly anything you throw at it. This waffle recipe uses a basic batter with some savory spices, and it’s modified to work with a little excess water. When you shred your veggies and finely chop fruits and vegetables, you can expect water to seep out. The thick batter in this recipe thins out slightly once the produce is added and it’s ready to waffle.
