For the low-carb eater, Rosh Hashanah can be challenging. The traditional Jewish new year table is practically flooded in honey, piled high with apples and dates, and weighed down with heavy portions of kugel and challah. But if you can look past the sugars and starches \u2013 or use them very sparingly \u2013 you\u2019ll find that the traditional symbolic foods offer marvelous options for big, festive, and healthy meals that won\u2019t spike your blood sugar.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Salads<\/h3>\n

Arugula & Pomegranate Salad from ASweetLife<\/a><\/p>\n

Pomegranate is the perfect traditional fruit to work into a low-carb menu: with its bright color and unique texture, just a little goes a long way. Combined with the peppery, slightly bitter flavor of arugula, you have an incredible combination of rich tastes \u2013 contrasting, yet complementary.\u00a0The lemon gives it all the perfect touch of tanginess.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carrot & Avocado Salad with Citrus Cumin Dressing<\/a> from Sweet Pillar Food<\/p>\n

Consider this a trendy take on the traditional carrot Tzimmes. Instead of a baked, sopping and sweet carrot casserole, roast your carrots to develop their natural sweetness, and pair them with rich avocado. Olive oil, lemon and cumin give the dish a beguiling and appropriate Near Eastern flavor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Veggies<\/h3>\n

Green Goddess Fritters<\/a> from KetoDietApp.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leek fritters are a classic Sephardic side dish, but they\u2019re usually held together with breadcrumbs. This clever recipe combines leeks with spinach (another symbolic food) and zucchini into perfect little patties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Low-Carb Roasted Beet Hummus<\/a> from Fit Men Cook<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beets are another semi-carby Rosh Hashanah classic that deserve to make an appearance at your meal. Deep purple beets are roasted and blended with tahini and olive oil, for a perfect dip that can be served with other symbolic foods: try raw celery or even homemade carrot chips<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Braised Leeks with Beet Vinaigrette<\/a> from Andrew Zimmern<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adventuring television personality Zimmern puts together two traditional ingredients in one gorgeous dish; just hold the brown sugar.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Braised Celery<\/a> from Sprinkles and Sprouts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Promote celery with this preparation that lightly softens and seasons the veggie, but keeps it brightly colored and mostly crisp. Butter and veggie stock create a luscious sauce.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Roasted Garlic<\/a> from Simply Recipes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every Rosh Hashanah feast needs a head of something. Garlic has its share of carbs, but just a clove or two is enough to flavor a whole dinner plate. Use this technique to get your head of garlic soft and toasty and just lightly caramelized, emphasizing the inherent sweetness within.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Entrees<\/h3>\n

Savory Slow Cooker Brisket<\/a> from Tori Avery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even brisket is unsafe from the holiday sugar onslaught! But this is an easy problem to correct. Tori\u2019s braised brisket is tender, attractive and nicely spiced.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ottolenghi\u2019s Roast Chicken with Za\u2019atar and Sumac from Panning the Globe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have brisket, you\u2019ll probably have chicken, and if you choose this recipe, you\u2019re set. Panning the Globe adopts a recipe from Jerusalem-born chef Yotam Ottolenghi for simple but flavorful chicken thighs roasted with Israeli spices and sliced lemon, topped with pine nuts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whole Fish<\/a> from Gimme Some Oven<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most families may stick to the basics, but there\u2019s no denying the central role that whole fish \u2013 with the head still attached, natch \u2013 has played in Rosh Hashanah gatherings over the centuries. If you\u2019re up for it, Gimme Some Oven offers a terrific guide on how best to pick and prepare whole fish such as branzino and red snapper.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Starches<\/h3>\n

Spaghetti Squash Kugel<\/a> from Food.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got a lot of options for keto kugel \u2013 some others use shirataki noodles \u2013 but we like the looks of this simple spaghetti squash \u201cmock noodle kugel,\u201d flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keto Challah<\/a> from Low Carb No Carb<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reproducing sweet, fluffy and beautiful challah is a project for advanced keto bakers. If you\u2019re up to the challenge, try this recipe, which gets overwhelmingly good reviews. \u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dessert<\/h3>\n

Keto Apple Bundt Cake with Apple Glaze<\/strong><\/a> from Keto Adapted<\/strong><\/p>\n

How could we totally ignore apples? This ingenious recipe uses brewed apple tea to instill carb-free apple flavor into an almond flour bundt cake with a coconut-based frosting.<\/p>\n
