When you think of latkes, you don’t typically think of a healthy, low carb or diabetes-friendly recipe. Those delicious potato-and-flour pancakes served at most Hanukkah celebrations aren’t exactly kind to the waistline or the blood sugar. But there are plenty of non-traditional latke recipes that use a variety of lower carb vegetables, and many of them are gluten-free as well. Zucchini is perhaps the most popular potato replacement but cooks are getting creative with spaghetti squash, beets, cauliflower and even rutabaga. There’s something for everyone in these recipes!
