Steps
Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze firmly to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, cottage cheese, eggs, and shredded cheese.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then stir until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Scoop the mixture onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it slightly toward the edges.
Close the lid and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the waffle is deeply golden brown and the edges are visibly crispy. Avoid opening the iron too early to prevent the waffle from tearing.
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and let it sit for 1 minute to firm up before serving.
Notes
Removing moisture from the zucchini is the most critical step to ensure the waffles crisp up rather than becoming soggy. These can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or air fryer to maintain the crunchy texture.
