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.
