Beet and Carrot Latkes
Makes 8-10
Health Benefits:
Beets and carrots are cool-season vegetables that add vibrant colour and fresh flavour to your healthy diet. Beets contain vitamin C, fibre, iron, and high levels of B-complex vitamin folate. Carrots contain beta-carotene, which is a substance that your body uses to produce vitamin A. Enjoy the benefits of both in this delicious and colourful recipe!
Ingredients:
- 2 medium beets, coarsely grated
- 2 medium carrots, coarsely grated
- 1 medium onion, coarsely grated
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour and gluten-free)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Combine the grated vegetables in a bowl. Add the beaten eggs, stir to combine, then stir in the flour and salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Heat 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, scoop 1/3 cup of the latke mixture into the pan, and flatten to 1/4 inch thick. Scoop 3 more latkes into the pan. Cook the 4 latkes until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes per side. Remove the latkes and place on a paper towel to soak up excess oil. Then transfer to a baking sheet and place them in the warm oven to keep the latkes warm and crispy while you cook the remaining latkes.
- Add another 1.5 tablespoons oil to the pan and cook the remaining latkes. When all the latkes are done, serve them warm with sour cream or applesauce.
Make a few small changes… and you will be AMAZED at the difference in how you look and feel!
