Carrot Pancakes With Lemon Herb Tahini

Serves 4

With a texture somewhere between a latke and a pancake, but comprised of carrots and healthy greens, these vegetarian fritters are also gluten-free. (Thanks, chickpea flour!) A delicious recipe that is easy to make!

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: 15 Mintues

Ingredients

• • 4 large eggs (blended)
  • 1 pound peeled organic carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped organic cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chickpea flour

  • freshly ground black pepper

Sauce

• • Tahini sauce
  • 1 organic lemon
