Ingredients

• 2 cups Waffle batter (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Ripe mango
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 small Jalapeño
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

Prepare the waffle batter if making from scratch, or measure out 2 cups of store-bought waffle batter.

Step 3

Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Pour a thin, even layer of batter onto the waffle iron, ensuring it doesn’t overflow.

Step 5

Cook the waffle until crispy and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and let it cool on a wire rack.

Step 6

Once the waffles have cooled, use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut them into chip-sized triangles or rectangles.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the waffle pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 5-8 minutes to make them extra crunchy. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.

Step 8

Peel and dice the ripe mango into small cubes and place in a mixing bowl.

Step 9

Finely grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or small grater and add it to the bowl.

Step 10

Dice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Add them to the mango along with the minced jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).

Step 11

Add lime juice and honey to the salsa mixture. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 12

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice, honey, or salt as needed.

Step 13

Serve the crunchy waffle chips with the mango ginger salsa on the side. Enjoy!
