Savory Vegan Zucchini Waffles

I was craving waffles for dinner earlier this week and still wanted to get my vegetables in and have something on the more savory side, so I decided to try to make some zucchini waffles. I wanted to make it a bit more substantial with a chickpea scramble and added some pesto and other toppings for some extra fancy flavorings. In less than 20 minutes everything came together and can I just say this trial was a SUCCESS !?! Easy, delicious, and completely vegan this recipe is definitely one I’ll be coming back to.

Here’s what you’ll need to do:
