10 Healthy Rosh Hashana Sides

Celebrate Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, with these sweet and savory sides on your holiday table. All the sides are made without dairy ingredients, so they fit into a meat-based kosher meal.

Couscous with Dried Dates

This fun version of couscous uses chopped dates, and will hopefully help bring you a sweet new year.

Tomato, Onion and Cucumber Salad

It’s the end of tomato and cucumber season, and the perfect time to use your bounty for this salad.

Quinoa, Roasted Eggplant and Apple Salad with Cumin Vinaigrette

In addition to dipping your apple in honey, add some to this simple quinoa salad.

Balsamic Glazed Squash

It’s the start of winter squash season, and these vegetables are a perfect complement to your Rosh Hashana table. A light balsamic glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness.

Pan-Roasted Carrots with Mint and Parsley Gremolata

A carrot dish is also traditionally served during this Jewish holiday. This delicious spin combines them with seasonal fresh mint and parsley.

Middle Eastern Eggplant Rounds

Add some Middle Eastern flavor to your holiday table with these bite-sized eggplant rounds filled with hummus and tomatoes.

Pea and Carrot Succotash

This eye-appealing side uses lots of colorful veggies, including zucchini, sweet onion, peas, carrots, corn, tomatoes and edamame (for some extra protein). With a total prep time of 20 minutes, it’s an easy side to whip up.

Purple Potatoes with Rosemary and Chives

These colorful potatoes are now in season. If your little ones haven’t gotten a chance to try them, Rosh Hashana is the perfect time to introduce new foods.

Green Beans with Walnut-Parsley Sauce

Pick up a bunch of green beans at your local farmers market just in time for the holiday. This light side tops the stringy beans with a simple walnut-parsley sauce.

Lemon Orzo

Orzo is well-liked by both kids and adults. This lemony version is flavored with mint, scallions and paprika, and takes 15 minutes to make.
