    Spinach Latkes with Green Goddess Sauce and Gluten-Free Option

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on December 3, 2020 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sides

    Latkes are prepared for Hanukkah, and are more commonly known as potato pancakes. But latkes don’t necessarily need to be made from potatoes. Throughout time, they’ve also been made from other vegetables, legumes, or starches. The word latke is actually derived from an Easy Slavic word that means “small pancake.” So these spinach latkes don’t veer from tradition.

    Spinach Latkes with Green Goddess Sauce and Gluten-Free Option

    This potato-free spinach latkes recipe was shared with us back in 2010 by Levana Kirschenbaum, but it was buried in our news archives. Today we’re giving her recipe a new home in our dairy-free recipe section.

    Levana is a celebrity chef and cookbook author who has roamed the world doing cooking demos. She caters quite a bit to the dairy-free community. For example, latkes are often served with sour cream, but Levana has made a Dairy-Free Green Goddess Sauce to pair with this recipe.

    Many of Levana’s recipes are also gluten-free. In fact, she usually makes the gluten-free version of these spinach latkes.

    These are fun, quick and nutritious, and very easily made gluten-free. In fact I never bother to make them any other way!
