Forget The Deep Fryer, Try These Healthier Olive Oil Recipes Instead this Chanukah!

While there’s something special about freshly fried latkes and sufganiyot on Chanukah, fried foods are not necessarily something you want to eat for eight nights straight. After a couple nights of indulging in all the greasy treats, a light, healthy meal really hits the spot.

Luckily there are plenty of ways to honor the miracle of Chanukah beyond deep frying. Whisk it into a vinaigrette, marinate it with olives and herbs, roast it with fish or bake it into a cake–the possibilities are endless!

Take a look at some of our favorite recipes below, and let olive oil really shine this Chanukah.
