This oil-free vegan latkes recipe is a healthy take on a classic Jewish tradition. Shredded potatoes and onions come together with a bit of gluten-free flour for a dish everyone can enjoy. Serve these with Easy Applesauce for Hanukkah or enjoy as a tasty appetizer at any party.
Preheat oven to 425 Line a baking sheet with a non-stick Silpat mat or a piece of parchment paper.
To make the Baked Oil-Free Potato Latkes with Easy Applesauce: Set up the large hole opening on a food processor slicing blade. Feed the onions and potatoes through the food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can also use the large holes on a box grater.
Transfer the shredded onion and potato to a clean kitchen towel, set up over a colander. Squeeze the onion potato mixture to get out as much of the moisture as you can. Discard these juices.
Transfer the squeezed onion potato mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the chickpea flour, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt. Use your hands to mix well.
Portion about 1/4 cup of the potato onion mixture for each latke. Flatten with your hands. This should make about 16 latkes.
Bake the oil-free Potato Latkes at 425F for 30 minutes. Flip after the first 20 minutes.
While the latkes bake, you can make a quick homemade applesauce. Or, just warm-up a good quality store-bought sauce.
When the latkes are done, remove from the oven. Serve immediately with applesauce.
