This latke recipe uses only 1 potato and cooking spray along with a non stick pan to cut the carbs and fat. You can fry these like you would traditional latkes if desired.

These look amazing!
You can use a mesh sieve and if you don’t have one, skip par cooking/boiling the carrot.
Do you boil the carrot when it has already been shredded? If so how do you drain it without losing the carrot?
So many factors could come into play here — including the fact that the recipe was not made for this type of execution 🙂 But how about using muffin papers/liners? Should solve the issue.
So, made the muffins, they were very tasty! The very bottom of the muffin did not come out of the pan…not cool enough? Not enough egg? Not enough matzo meal? Btw, I used almond flour, not enough?
I made these latkes for rosh hashona and froze them but i took off one to taste. they are really good and tasty and not hard to make at all. I am excited about serving them at the meal.
These sound delicious! I plan to make them as muffin shaped. I like the idea of individual servings but lack the patience for latkes! Any suggestions for turning them into muffin shaped?
The hasn’t been a latke I’ve ever met and didn’t like … LOL. These sound absolutely delicious. Great for a vegetarian main course or a side dish.
Marleen really cool idea – I would say try it baking it in a shallow pie plate so it’s not too thick spray with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil — and slice it into wedges to serve.
yes for sure try that – spray and bake flip halfway thru spray and finish baking until browned and cooked thru
Veggi latkes recipe looks great.
I’m wondering if slightly adapted recipe wouldn’t be just as delish and
even alot less time consuming in
a casserole dish baked in the oven
for about 30 mins. What do you think??
Hi, these look grt! was thinking if it will be just as good to bake them?
Fixed now but to clarify you will need 1 cup shredded carrots which is equal to about 3 medium carrots.
will fix now but it’s 1 cup shredded carrots which is about 3 medium carrots peeled and shredded
