Food is just as important of a part of any holiday as good company. Have you ever wondered what you should be eating during the holidays? You’re not alone. I’ve set out to solve this problem by creating a list of my best Rosh Hashanah recipes.
If you’re looking for some great recipes to cook up for the upcoming Jewish New Year, you’ve come to the right place. Scroll down below for some of my favorite meals that taste great and are easy to make!
Creamy Parsnip Apple Soup with Parsley Oil
Apples are a staple during Rosh Hashanah, like the apples in this Parsnip Apple Soup! Apples are seasonally grown in California during August, September, October, November, December so if you’re reading this during these months, go out and get yourselves some deliciously fresh apples from your local farmers market — and then go make this soup and add it to your Rosh Hashanah menu!
Apple and Honey Galettes
Name a better dessert than apple pie – I’ll wait. While I LOVE apple pie, it can be a fuss to make. With Rosh Hashanah around the corner, it is customary to eat apples dipped in honey to signify a sweet new year. While we usually celebrate with my Auntie Ethel’s famous apple cake, this year, I’m going rogue with this recipe for Apple and Honey Galettes.
Honey Walnut Challah
Honey Walnut Challah… a classic Jewish braided bread made with the perfect combination of the signature rich, nutty flavor of walnuts, and a sweet surprise of honey. It’s the perfect challah to make this Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year). I switched up my challah braid for this cute as a button honey bee challah!
Turmeric Sesame Crusted Halloumi with Hot Ginger Honey
Halloumi is a Cypriot cheese that is typically made with sheep of goat’s milk. Paired with nutty sesame seeds and hot honey, halloumi is the perfect low-effort appetizer to protein addition to your favorite salad. It’s a simple and delicious protein option for vegetarian guests, throw a few slices onto the grill and serve on top of salad, on a skewer, or as a burger replacement.
Hot Honey Smashed Potatoes
We’re getting SPICY over here with these Hot Honey Smashed Potatoes. These are my husband’s ULTIMATE favourite potatoes. And mine too. I like to switch up our starches between rice, pasta, potatoes, etc -but I make en exception for these, and probably make them a little too often. They are the perfect combination of spicy, sweet, crispy, and savoury and will be your go-to potato recipe from now on.
Apple Pie with Honey Cheddar Crust
Move over Apple Cake… this Apple Pie with Honey Cheddar Crust is a sweet, savory, and gooey twist on the classic dessert. Indulge your senses in this apple pie that’s perfect for the New Year. It is everything you love about fall wrapped up in a delicious dessert!
Apple & Honey Crepe Cake with Cardamom and Pistachios
This is not your Bubbe’s apple cake! This layered crepe cake is the perfect dessert to ring in the new year. Layers of cardamom scented crepes, honey sweetened apples, a subtle whipped cream, and crunchy pistachios make this the ultimate new year’s dish!
