Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, peeled Turnips
- 1 cup Cauliflower florets
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 medium, finely grated Onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by grating the turnips using a cheese grater or a food processor with a grater attachment. Place the grated turnips in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Next, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly, then finely chop or pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated turnips, cauliflower, grated onion, eggs, almond flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, drop spoonfuls of the latke mixture into the pan, pressing gently to flatten them into discs approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Cook the latkes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the latkes hot, with your choice of low-carb toppings like sour cream, or chives. Enjoy!
