Low Carb Latkes Are Possible This Hannukah

Hanukkah is the festival of carbs. For those who celebrate eight crazy nights, eating can mean gaining. The most traditional food around is the latke, otherwise known as a potato pancake. Hot, greasy, and starch-heavy, these treats are never diet-friendly. But maybe they can be! Foodies out there have figured out a way to cut down on the calories, quick. You just need a good substitute for potato. What else would work?

This year, try a shredded zucchini, beets, carrot, onion, cauliflower, or butternut squash. Mix a few, even. Then, add it as you normally would in your family recipe. The results are surprisingly yummy!
