Sweet Potato + Soyrizo Waffles with Sriracha Maple Syrup
Are you a sweet or savory breakfast person?
These Sweet Potato + Soyrizo Waffles are the perfect balance of both.
You will definitely be calling all of your friends to plan your next brunch after taking one bite of these!
The Deets:
I love these waffles so much- they are super easy and quick to make, are perfect for meal prep and taste great re-heated in the air fryer!
So, grab a cheese grater, a bowl, your waffle iron, roll up your sleeves and lets do it!
Ingredients:
- Shredded sweet potatoes: you will need one really large potato or two medium size potatoes. Once it’s cooked you will need 2 1/2 cups.
- Eggs
- Sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese (I usually do cheddar)
- Soyrizo: removed from the casing.
- 1 cup of chopped spinach
- green onions
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- maple syrup
- sriracha
- cilantro
The prep:
- Start by wrapping your (washed) sweet potatoes in plastic wrap. Pace them in the microwave and cook them for 3 minutes.
- Let the potatoes cool, peel off the skin and then shred with a cheese grater. You will need aproximately 2 1/2 cups. Your potatoes should be slightly cooked but not mushy, if they are, it’s ok- you will want to squeeze out any water with a cheese cloth or strainer.
- In a large bowl add the remaining ingredients and give it a good toss, using your hands to break up the soyrizo.
- Pre-heat your waffle iron to a medium high setting. When your waffle iron is ready, spray the top and bottom with non-stick spray and place about 3/4 cup of the waffle mixture into the iron, using the bottom of the measuring cup (or spatula) to evenly distribute the mixture. Press the iron down and let each waffle cook for 3-5 minutes or until browned and easily able to be removed from iron.
- Repeat until all of the mixture is gone, this recipe will make about 4-5 waffles and can easily be doubled to make more.
- Top waffles with Sriracha Maple Syrup and cilantro and serve!
- Store in a bag or food container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Have Leftovers???
I actually think these waffles taste better on day two, but that’s just me.
If you have leftovers or want to make these for meal prep I have found that they re-heat best in the air fryer for about 3 minutes. You can also microwave them, but they might get a little mushy.
Don’t for get to save so Maple Sriracha for later!
Now go call of your friends and plan that brunch we were talking about earlier!
