Chaffles are a game-changer when it comes to low-carb eating. I first discovered them when I decided to give the Wonder bread chaffle a try for BLT sandwiches. After a little tweaking to the online recipe, I soon had a recipe I was making every day!
Okra is Greg’s favorite vegetable. We typically bake it with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. However, I recently found a recipe for Okra Fritter Chaffles. With fresh okra in the fridge from my father-in-law, I knew this was going on the menu!
I finally pulled out the Dash waffle maker and whipped them up. Oh my goodness, where have these been all my life? Okra Fritter Chaffles are A-MAZ-ING!!! We had them as a side to our steak dinner, and although the bone-in ribeyes were delicious, the chaffles stole the show.
If you are looking for a side dish that will fit into your low-carb lifestyle, try these tonight!
