Butternut squash latkes, gluten-free and dairy-free, spice up your Hanukkah menu.
We had an early Hanukkah celebration over the weekend (as if Hanukkah wasn’t early enough this year), and these gluten-free, dairy-free butternut squash latkes were the surprise hit of the night. Moist and flavorful, they stole the show, leaving the ordinary potato latkes sitting on the plate. Spiced with cumin, curry and cinnamon (the perfect trifecta of spices), the latkes have a slight pumpkin taste that’s perfect this year for Thanksgivukkah.
It’s actually easier to make butternut squash latkes than potato latkes, because the squash can be peeled and cut in advance, it doesn’t turn brown when exposed to air and it doesn’t weep water like grated potatoes do. While potato latkes are traditional, Hanukkah is about the miracle of the oil, not about the miracle of potatoes. So fry these butternut squash latkes in some oil and create a new Hanukkah tradition.
