Raw Yam and Carrot Savory Pancakes
I am a big fan of interesting textures and wonderful taste. I am also a big fan of savory pancakes! I decided to create a twist on the traditional potato pancakes with these yam, carrot pancakes that are laced with hazelnuts, rosemary and sage. The flavors marry beautifully and with the addition of the raw apple sauce, you have a easy, delicious dinner.
This is a versitle recipe that travels well making it an ideal lunch to pack. You can also make them smaller and create a tray of wonderful little appetizers. For the appetizers, I would make them about 2″ across. Make sure you pull them out of the dehydrator before they are dehydrated completely dry. You want to keep a little softness in the centers.

To use the oven to dry the pancakes, just have the oven light on. You may need to put in a larger light bulb to warm it to about 110F to 115F though and crack the door open a bit for more air circulation. I do that all the time if I’m just doing one or 2 trays instead of running my older, large Barron dehydrator.

I would be concerned about possible fermentation and bacteria growth.
