For the latkes
1 ½ pounds celery root, peeled and shredded (about 2 small)

2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 teaspoons Thrive Market Himalayan Pink Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Thrive Market Organic Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Thrive Market Organic Onion Powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Mix together celery root, sweet potato, eggs, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chives, and rosemary in a large bowl. Press well with back of spoon to remove excess liquid; drain.
