These Delicious Passover Foods Deserve a Spot on Your Seder Table

Plus, some of our favorite Passover recipes. Every spring, Jews around the world sit down to begin the eight-day (or seven days, depending on the family) festival of Passover with a dinner called a seder. In 2024, the holiday begins on the evening of April 22nd and ends at sundown on Tuesday, April 30. Though every family has its own traditions and rituals, the purpose of the holiday is to retell the Biblical story of the Jewish people fleeing slavery and finally leaving Egypt. The festival is perhaps best known for the Passover foods consumed (and not consumed) throughout the week. Though every Jewish family has its own standards and levels of observance, one of the most common rules is that Jews cannot eat anything considered chametz. This refers to anything that contains grain that has come into contact with water and had the chance to rise–think bread, pancakes, cupcakes, and cookies. This is because when the enslaved Jews were leaving Egypt, they didn’t have enough time to allow their bread to rise. Many Jews will only consume foods that are unleavened and have a special kosher for Passover marking. Additionally, some Jews that come from Eastern European countries also avoid foods called kitniyot, which include rice, mustard, corn, beans, and other legumes. Instead, many Jews will use ingredients like almond flour, potato starch, and an unleavened cracker called matzah to cook throughout the holiday. When the sun sets on the first night of Passover, a large dinner will be served, and at the center of the table is the seder plate. A large plate with a shank bone, egg, bitter herbs, greens, lettuce, and a special mixture called charoset (more on these later). Recipes to make Passover foods If you’re looking to make some delicious meals with some of the Passover foods below and more, some of our favorite recipes include: Matzo Ball Soup Gefilte Fish Slow Cooker Brisket Crispy Roasted Potatoes Green Beans With Olive-Almond Tapenade Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Kale Cauliflower Tabbouleh Potato Kugel Roasted Baby Vine Tomato Grilled Chicken Flourless Chocolate Cake Roast Lamb Charoset Chewy Chocolate-Walnut Cookies So, what traditional Passover foods are served at a Passover meal?
