Za’atar Carrot Waffle Latkes

Easy

Difficulty

Latkes are delicious, but not everyone grew up with this traditional messy, super-oily Hanukkah food. If you’re creating new Hanukkah traditions with family members who didn’t grow up celebrating Hanukkah, why not have fun with it and make it your own? Try this lighter, mess-free carrot za’atar latke for your holiday meal, made in a waffle maker instead of a skillet of oil! It’s also a healthier way to celebrate Hanukkah with your loved ones.

Ingredients for 4

  • 4 cups grated carrots (about 6 medium carrots)
  • ½ cup grated white onion
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. za’atar
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • Oil spray
  • Labneh or Greek Yogurt, for serving

Directions

  1. Combine carrots, onion, flour, baking powder, za’atar, sea salt and eggs until combined.
  2. Scoop 1/3 cup mixture into an oiled, preheated waffle skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  3. Serve with a dollop of labneh and extra za’atar.
  4. Enjoy!
