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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the latkes hot, with your choice of low-carb toppings like sour cream, or chives. Enjoy!
