It’s Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur time again which means lots of sweet foods, followed by fasting, followed by more yummy foods. Just look at all the foods we put together for this years Rosh Hash dinner! So… much… food!
Well, I just had to add one more thing to dinner because it’s sweet and delicious. And that’s the best this time of year. It’s also a great way to highlight fresh fruits and veggies together with a meal that can be otherwise heavy. I cooked the carrots in sweet juice, and honey, added some raisins and seasoning and let the heat work its magic.
The end result are sweet carrot gems bursting with plump raisins. It’s naturally sweet, beautiful in color and absolutely delicious to eat! This would also be great as a side dish on Thanksgiving or Passover, or even a Sunday roast!
What’s your favorite way to eat carrots? I’d love to hear in the comments below!
