Healthy Zucchini Latkes for Hanukkah

Traditional potato latkes are one of the most well-known and, unfortunately, least healthy parts of Hanukkah. While there’s always room to indulge in holiday food in moderation, this healthier spin on latkes offers the same delicious flavor with the addition of various nutritional benefits. Not only do zucchini latkes contain plenty of protein and vitamins A and C, but they also have less than 130 calories for four latkes. Delicious and a nutritional powerhouse — it’s a win-win.
