Passover begins on the evening of Saturday, April 12, and runs through Sunday, April 20 this year. As one of Judaism’s most sacred holidays, it’s the perfect time to gather around the table with delicious Passover recipes to celebrate.
Whether you’re planning a full seder menu or looking for chametz-free dishes to enjoy throughout the week, we’ve rounded up the best kosher for Passover recipes. All are free of wheat, rye, oats, barley and spelt — and while some include kitniyot (like beans, seeds and certain vegetables), that’s up to your level of observance.
You’ll find traditional Passover favorites like matzo ball soup, charoset, tomato-braised brisket and all the flourless Passover desserts you can eat, plus fresh springtime dishes like radish salads, herb dips, asparagus sides and juicy roasted chicken. And don’t miss our creative takes on matzo — from matzo brei and lasagna to matzo-crusted salmon, brittle and veggie-packed frittatas. So pour a glass of Manischewitz, pass the macaroons, and enjoy a festive meal with family and friends — maybe with a thoughtful Passover gift or two.
