Ingredients
Latkes
- 6 cups carrots peeled, grated (grate on the large holes of a box grater)
- 6 tablespoons white whole-wheat flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 eggs large, beaten
Dill Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt non-fat or low-fat, plain or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons dill finely chopped or 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed (about 1/2 a lemon)
- 1 garlic clove minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to coat (even if nonstick). Parchment paper can be used, but spray the parchment paper.
- Place grated carrots in a colander and press with a paper towel to remove most of the liquid from the vegetable.
- Add flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper to a bowl and stir to combine. Add beaten eggs and carrots. Stir to combine well. Let sit for 10 minutes. Form into patties (about 3 inches each) and place in rows on the baking sheet. Do not let patties touch. Bake for 20 minutes or until crisp, flipping halfway through.
- Meanwhile, whisk together all of the ingredients for the yogurt sauce and serve on the side or as topping.
- *Note: if batter is too wet to form patties, sprinkle in additional flour. If too dry, add an additional beaten egg.
