  • Puree the beets smoothly to avoid chunks in the batter and ensure even coloring. If you don't have a food processor or blender that can handle raw beets, you can shred the beets, but you will get speckled red waffles.
  • Don't overmix waffle batter. To keep them light and fluffy, mix only until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Store leftover beet waffles in the refrigerator for a few days or the freezer for three to six months.
