Ingredients
Sweet Potato Waffle
- 3 large eggs, divided
- 1 small/medium uncooked sweet potato, grated (about 1 heaping cup)
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/8 tsp paprika
- 1/8 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp oil, plus more for waffle iron and frying pan
Sandwich Fillings
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1/2 medium avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron thoroughly and grease it well with oil or non-stick spray. Set aside while you prepare the batter.
- Make Sweet Potato Waffle Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg (or 2 egg whites if preferred). Add the grated sweet potato along with cumin, paprika, garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon of oil. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Cook the Sweet Potato Waffle: Once the waffle iron is hot, evenly distribute the sweet potato mixture into the four quadrants. Gently press the waffle iron closed and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle is lightly golden and cooked through.
- Sauté the Kale: While the waffle cooks, heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and sauté until it becomes slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the Eggs: Using the same pan, fry or scramble the remaining eggs to your preferred doneness. You can remove the kale before cooking eggs or keep it in the pan as you like.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Carefully remove the cooked sweet potato waffle from the waffle iron using a butter knife and place it on a plate. Layer sautéed kale, the cooked egg, and avocado slices on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your Paleo Sweet Potato Waffle Breakfast Sandwich is ready to be enjoyed warm for a wholesome and satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can substitute 1 whole egg with 2 egg whites in the waffle batter for a lighter version.
- Adjust seasoning in the waffle batter according to your taste preference.
- Use oil sparingly to keep the dish paleo-friendly and healthy.
- If you do not have a waffle iron, a stovetop skillet can be used to form hash patties instead.
