Whether you grew up with Hanukkah or it’s your first time celebrating this Jewish holiday, you must know that food plays an integral role. Lighting the menorah (or chanukiah) and reciting the blessings takes precedence, but afterward, it’s time to eat. From sweet to savory and appetizers to desserts, here are the veganized Jewish dishes that should be enjoyed during any Hanukkah celebration even if it’s a celebration of one.
1. Latkes
Fried potatoes come in many forms, but latkes are a favorite during this time of year. These savory potato pancakes are made with shredded white potatoes held together with a binder (such as flax eggs or chickpea flour) and traditionally fried in oil to celebrate the fact that the oil used to oil lamps lasted eight days instead of one. Latkes are traditionally served with (vegan) sour cream and/or applesauce.
