1. HASH BROWNS
Nick at Macheesmo discovered that waffle irons
make hash browns perfectly crispy. Both sides brown up at the same time,
meaning they only take about 10 minutes to make—half as long as it would if you
were using a cast-iron pan.

2. BAKED APPLE SLICES
Apple slices warm up nicely in any kind of waffle iron, and Stef
atCupcake Project coats them in a thin
layer of sugar for a caramelized outer shell. You could add some homemade
whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon and call it a day, or make them
without sugar and toppings for a healthier snack.

3. EGGPLANT PARMESAN
Nikki at Tikkido crisps up a healthy eggplant parm
in her waffle iron without using any oil. It’s also way faster than the
traditional method of frying the eggplant, which means it’s doable on
weeknights.

6. MAC + CHEESE
Is your favorite part of baked macaroni and cheese the crispy part
on the top? Then this recipe is for you. After whipping up a batch of your favorite
mac and cheese, simply press it into squares on the waffle iron the way Jamie
does at Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom. This would
also be an ideal way to heat up leftovers.

7. CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES
Anna at Crunchy, Creamy, Sweet simply fires up
the waffle iron to make crunchy cookies in next to no time. Her dough recipe
will seem runny like a batter, but don’t let that fool you—these are cookies
through and through.

8. FALAFEL
At Food + Whine, Megan crisps up falafel balls on
her waffle iron for a healthier, no-oil take on this Middle Eastern cuisine.
The waffled shape makes them easier to slip inside a pita, too.
