    Sweet Potato Cornmeal Waffles

    After hanging around on my "must make" list, savoury waffles finally made an appearance in my kitchen! And boy, how good are these Sweet Potato Cornmeal Waffles...crunchy with a delicate moist centre and so healthy too!

     

    I think I'm borderline addicted to sweet potatoes. When in season, they make it to our table almost every day. They are wonderful roasted like in my Sweet Potato Fries, in salads like these Sweet Potato Chickpea Salad and Quinoa Sweet Potato Salad , in soups like this Roasted Sweet Potato Pumpkin Soup. They make a healthy snack, just simply steamed, tossed in lemon juice and some chaat masala. Today they are the star ingredient in my Sweet Potato Cornmeal Waffles.

    This versatile tuber is nutritionally power packed. It's a low-calorie vegetable that's loaded with fiber and potassium. They are an excellent source of vitamin A.  Rich in vitamin B6, vitamin C and D, they also have high iron and magnesium ( which helps with chronic fatigue and insomnia!)  content.  Being complex carbohydrates, their natural sugar is released slowly in the body, thus providing balanced energy without  any spike in the blood sugar level.

    Back to the recipe, sweet potatoes add a good amount of moisture and their natural sweetness to the waffles or any baked goodies. Cornmeal ( not to be confused with cornflour) makes them crunchy and gives a tender crumb. It also adds a tinge of sweet nutty flavor which so unique. These waffles are best served immediately but they do reheat rather well in a toaster.

     

    They are superb for a lazy brunch or even dinner..served with some veggies, an egg , tofu, sausages or maybe chicken.  There are so many sauces that would work with these waffles - tahini yogurt sauce, bbq sauce, soy honey, sriracha, pesto, spicy tomato chutney and even our good old mint chutney.  I made a simple soy honey mustard sauce for the platter pictured. Simply mix a tablespoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of honey and half a teaspoon of mustard in a small bowl. Add chilli flakes and coarsely ground pepper and done!

      For those of us without a waffle iron, do you think these would work as pancakes too?
