Sheet Pan Carrot + Sweet Potato Tzimmes
Tzimmes is a traditional Jewish stewed fruit and veggie dish, often served during the holidays. It’s typically made with carrots, prunes, and sweet potatoes and sweetened with honey. Our sheet pan version uses the same veggies and flavors but is roasted to perfection. It’s simple to make and a totally delicious update on a classic.
