Carrot Kugel for Passover

On the first night of Passover, our family always gathers for a big family meal. I always make this Carrot Kugel for Passover which is like a fantastic carrot casserole which is baked in the oven. 

To make this couldn’t be easier. Process cooked carrots in a food processor. To make the kugel mixture, add eggs, honey, oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix well. Pour the mixture into a glass baking dish. Sprinkle with a chopped nut and sugar mixture. Bake for an hour and enjoy. 

To make my Carrot Kugel for Passover, you will need the following ingredients:
