These roasted carrots balance sweet and acidic flavors with Champagne vinegar and date molasses, creating a bright side dish that pairs beautifully with brisket and other Hanukkah favorites.
“Roasted carrots show up at almost every family gathering,” shares Chef Hasid. “We love the unexpected acidity that pairs well with the sweetness of the date molasses.” These roasted carrots bring a sweet tart, aromatic counterpoint to the meal and echo the apple cider notes in the brisket.
