Side Dishes for Rosh Hashanah

There is more to Rosh Hashanah side dishes than sweet kugels and tzimmes.
Sweet Potato Kugel (Parve)
If you like sweet kugels and you like potato kugels, then this sweet potato kugel is perfect for you. And since sweet is the name of the game on Rosh Hashanah, this kugel could make the perfect holiday side dish for your New Year celebration.
Carrot Kugel (Parve)
This carrot kugel tastes like carrot cake, which makes it a wonderful sweet side dish for Rosh Hashanah. And since it is so simple to prepare, it will add to your holiday meal without adding to your holiday workload. Your guests, especially the children, will gobble up this delicious kugel.
Carrot Muffins
Do you have children joining you for Rosh Hashanah or other Jewish holiday meals? If so, I suggest serving these carrot muffins as a side dish instead of a more traditional carrot kugal. Kids and adults will love these festive and fun carrot muffins.
Pumpkin Pancakes (Parve)
Pumpkin, an autumn vegetable, is traditionally eaten by Sephardic Jews on the Jewish New Year. These Pumpkin Pancakes can be served at the Rosh Hashanah meal or any autumn meal.
Sweet Potato Pie (Pareve)
This Sweet Potato Pie is a nice alternative to kugel if you are looking for something new to serve for the Sabbath lunch. This pareve pie goes particularly well with turkey, at Thanksgiving or any time of the year.
Candied Sweet Potatoes (Parve)
Easy-to-make and yummy-to-eat. There are NEVER any leftovers of these Candied Sweet Potatoes in my home.
Honey Glazed Carrots
Honey Glazed Carrots are the perfect side dish for any Sabbath or Jewish holiday meal. Given their sweet flavor, they are especially fitting for Rosh Hashanah. They are easy to make, and the color and taste complement meat entrees.
About Judaism: Pecan Noodle Kugal
It is traditional to eat sweet dishes on Rosh HaShana in the hopes of a sweet start to the Jewish New Year. Thus, this kugal is the perfect side dish for the holiday meal.
AllRecipes.com: Raisin Farfel Kugel
This Raisin Farfel Kugel is perfect for the second day of Rosh Hashanah as it is easy to make, stores compactly in the refrigerator, reheats well on a hotplate, and has a sweet flavor. This kugel also works well for the pre-fast Yom Kippur meal as it is high in carbs and low in salt.
