One great way to start eating healthier is to focus on eating more vegetables each day. Vegetables are packed with nutrients, fiber, vitamins, and so many more health benefits to keep us healthy. Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables and making these zucchini waffles are a great way to get some yummy wholesome vegetables.

Can you make these waffles ahead of time or freeze the waffles?

Yes! If you want to have waffles ahead of time, there are two ways you can do this. One way is to cook all the waffles and let them completely cool down. Then place the waffles into a airtight container or tortilla warmer. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you want to store them longer, then place waffles on a sheet pan and place them into the freezer. Once they are frozen then place 2-3 waffles into an airtight container or gallon size bags. When you are ready to eat them, warm the waffles in the microwave or reheat them in the waffle machine until warmed.

The second way is to make all of the zucchini waffle batter ahead of time. Cover the bowl with a lid, plastic wrap, or foil and place it into the fridge. Zucchini waffle batter can last up to 2-3 days. When you are ready to eat the waffles, you heat the waffle iron, take the batter out of the fridge and give it a quick stir. Then add the batter to the waffle machine and you’ll have perfectly warm fresh savory waffles.
