Crispy raw Butternut Squash Latkes with smoked paprika, parsley, garlic and bound in sesame flaxseed crust.
Dive into oblivion and yearn for more.
This will obliterate any belief that vegan food can’t be super nutritious.
Make this:
- When you’ve got a potluck raw vegan event and need a mouth-watering dish that will please
- When you’ve a party and a delightful finger food dish will satiate your guests’ appetite
- When you’ve had an exhausting week at work and need a chill pill dish that will get your creativity back on track
Butternut Squash Latkes was inspired when I had raw vegan friends over for lunch and wanted to create a lush that looked dazzling but was jaw dropping as you bit into it.
These savoury Latkes are vegan and paleo, Jewish cuisine.
