Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a chance to reflect on the year gone by, and to celebrate the year to come. We’ve collected 41 Rosh Hashanah recipes, ready for however big or small your holiday meal may be. Many of these are sweet, in the spirit of a sweet new year. Think: a spiced apple cake, a flaky galette studded with apricots, swirly chocolate babka, and apple and honey rice kugel. But of course, we’ve got plenty of savory appetizers, side dishes, and main courses too, highlighting symbolic foods like pomegranates and carrots. Whether you’re looking for a crispy roast chicken, juicy brisket, or fuss-free salmon, we’ve got that and then some. Here are lots (and lots) of options for your Rosh Hashanah table.

Warm Eggplant Salad With Walnuts
Date syrup gives this savory, nutty eggplant salad the perfect amount of sweetness. You can find it at most well-stocked grocery stores and health food stores. Alternatively, pomegranate molasses or honey are worthy substitutes.
Glazed and Flaky Apple Tart
If you're the type of baker who prefers fruit desserts that go heavy on the fruit, this flaky, crunchy, juicy apple tart with plenty of autumnal flair is the Rosh Hashanah recipe for you. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for guaranteed oohs and aahs.
Bitter Greens With Cranberry Dressing
Maple-Roasted Carrots
Raspberry-Tahini Thumbprint Cookies
These jam-bellied cookies don’t rely on tahini alone for their nuttiness—they also have a subtle touch of almond extract that boosts the natural sesame flavor along with bursts of toasty seeds. Use any flavor jam you like and feel free to choose one hue of sesame seeds (though the combination of black and white makes for the most stunning appearance).

Moroccan Lamb Shanks With Pomegranate
Basically Noodle Kugel
Classic Applesauce
Cooking the apples with their skins on adds a beautiful rosy blush to the finished sauce. Don't skip on the cinnamon or vanilla bean—it's what gives it that extra, flavorful oomph that sets it apart from the store-bought stuff.
