Let’s start our Easter dinner right with some mouthwatering appetizers! All ready in less than 30 minutes, healthy, and made with easily available ingredients. 🙌
1. Baked Kale Chips 🥬
Looking for a tasty and original appetizer for your Easter dinner? Try my baked kale chips! Only 5 ingredients and no mess to clean up. All you have to do is mix all the ingredients of the coating together and cook everything in the oven (or in a food dehydrator). Unlike the most popular kale chip recipes on the internet, you won’t need an overpriced air fryer for my kale chips – even though this recipe works in the air fryer as well!
2. Beet Hummus 🥄
A colorful and creamy dip, that will surely impress your guests! Beets are incredibly nutritious (more on the amazing benefits of beetroots here), and with this recipe, you will easily trick your kids to eat this “superfood” too. You can prep the hummus in advance, and then serve it with my gluten-free Flax Quinoa Crackers (check the recipe below).

3. Flax Quinoa Crackers 🥨
Have you ever tried making your own crackers at home? With my recipe, you will prep some healthy, crunchy quinoa and flaxseed in less than 30 minutes. Great with my beet hummus (recipe above) or other creamy dips, such as Rick’s Black Bean Dip or my Oil-Free Curry Hummus!
4. Banh Mi Sliders 🥕
A Vietnamese-inspired recipe to give an exotic touch to your Easter feast! The air-fried edamame patties are enclosed by fragrant, homemade wholegrain buns and everything is enriched with fresh and crunchy veggies. A true delight for the palate!
5. Zucchini Corn Fritters 🥒
Another delicious vegan Easter recipe is my zucchini corn fritters. Gluten-free, meal-prep friendly, and simply a great way to make your kids love their veggies! Plus, the ingredients needed are very minimal and easily available (you would probably already have them in your pantry!).
Vegan Main Courses 🍝 – Vegan Easter Recipes
Here we are to the central part of our Easter feast: the main courses! For you, I have chosen 5 scrumptious, veggie-based recipes, that will impress all of your guests!
6. Vegan Lasagna with Tofu Ricotta and Veggies 🍅
A classic festive dish, but vegan and super nourishing? My vegan lasagna with tofu and veggies! Simply delicious, colorful, and perfect for both a fancy Easter dinner or a more relaxed Spring brunch!
7. Creamy Lemon Zucchini Pasta 🍋
Looking for a hearty, yet fresh pasta dish for your big festive lunch? This Creamy Lemon Zucchini Pasta will bring everyone together! Light, easy to make, and simply delicious!
8. Vegan Chickpea Dumplings 🥟
Looking for an alternative Easter lunch idea? Try these vegan chickpea dumplings! An Indian-inspired recipe full of flavors and with an incredible texture! Plus, they are completely gluten-free, dairy-free, and made with whole, nourishing ingredients. I love to serve them with my special curried tomato sauce and some wild brown rice.
9. Creamy Kale Gnocchi with Mushrooms and Beans 🍄
Here I am with another Easter Italian-inspired recipe! My Creamy Kale Gnocchi with Mushrooms and Beans recipe is easy to make, healthy, and loaded with lots of precious nutrients. I’m willing to say it’s better than Jamie Oliver’s Kale Gnocchi recipe 😉.
10. Roasted Vegetables Chickpea Pasta 🍝
Next on my Easter menu is this Roasted Vegetables Pasta. Again, a kid-friendly, vegan Easter recipe, is still very nourishing and wholesome. For this recipe, I opted for some chickpea pasta, higher in fiber and protein than regular white pasta!
Side Dishes 🍠& Salads 🥗 – Vegan Easter Recipes
Now that we have our appetizers and mains covered, let’s move to side dishes and salad. I personally love to combine a “heavier” dish with a light salad or side dish. Of course, this does not mean eating plain, boring boiled veggies. On the contrary, my salads are full of colors, flavors, and consistencies, for a true culinary experience!
11. Mediterranean Brussels Sprouts 🍃
One of my favorite side dish recipes! Easy and quick to make, but full of flavor. For a fully plant-based dish, swap the regular feta with a vegan one, or with some silken tofu.
12. Healthy Creamy Mashed Potatoes 🍠
What’s more festive than mashed potatoes?! One of my favorite childhood dishes, but way healthier -and creamier, not to too my own horn! For a plant-based version, swap the low-fat milk and yogurt with some soy or oat ones (remember they should be unsweetened).
13. Cold Broccoli Salad with Pear Vinaigrette 🍐
The creaminess of the pear vinaigrette perfectly balances the crunchiness of the raw veggies in this cold broccoli salad. A must for your Spring picnics and Easter brunch!
14. Kale Apple Beet Coleslaw 🍎
Here is how to give a twist to a traditional recipe and make it lighter and -more importantly- even more delicious! A perfect combination of sweet and tart, in just a handful of calories! Just remember to swap the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with their vegan counterparts.
15. Berry Watermelon Fruit Salad 🍉
A fruit salad for your Easter breakfast? It’s a big YES for me! This one is covered with a refreshing lemon maple vinaigrette, that enhances the sweetness of the fruits in the salad. Here I used strawberries, blackberries, and watermelon, but you can also add/swap them with blueberries and Honeydew melon.
Dairy-free Decadent Desserts 🍰 – Vegan Easter Recipes
What’s best than ending your bottomless Easter dinner or brunch with a decadent slice of cake? Even better if it’s vegan, dairy-free, low in refined sugars, and made with simple, healthy ingredients! All the treats you will find here are easy and quick to make and can suit all dietary needs.
16. Chocolate Date Easter Eggs w/ Coconut & Peanut Butter 🍫
Nothing speaks Easter more than these sugar-free Chocolate Date Easter eggs, a healthier alternative to the overly-processed storebought ones. These are made with a heart of coconut and peanut butter and are sweetened with monk fruit.
17. Chocolate Crostata 🥧
Nothing better than this Double Chocolate Crostata to end your Easter dinner on a sweet note! Rich, decadent, but still made with relatively healthier ingredients! A true heaven for chocolate lovers!
18. Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪
Could you believe me if I tell you that I managed to recreate the cookies of my childhood, but completely refined sugar-free, and made with wholesome ingredients? What are you waiting for?! Discover the recipe here!
19. Raspberry Lemon Bars 🍋
If you are looking for a “fresher”, zestier recipe, these Raspberry Lemon Bars are for you! A great alternative to the chocolate-heavy treats above for your Easter dinner or brunch!
20. Beet Date Carrot Cake 🥕
Refined-sugar-free and gluten-free: are you sure we are talking about a carrot cake?! This beet date carrot cake is packed with nutritious ingredients and sweetened with “nature’s candies” (i.e. dates).
21. Dark Chocolate Hummus 🍓
Hummus for desserts? Yes, you have heard it right! This dark chocolate hummus makes for a scrumptious end to your Easter dinner, and is also super quick to make, with only 5 ingredients!
Refreshing Drinks for your Easter Dinner 🍹- Vegan Easter Recipes
Last but certainly not least, are the drinks for our Easter feast! Here, I will show you options for both mocktails (non-alcoholic beverages) and traditional cocktails. Plus, an incredible and refreshing strawberry detox lemonade, my signature beverage!
22. Hibiscus Margarita Mocktail 🍸
A sweet and sour kid-friendly “cocktail”, sugar-free, caffeine-free, and simply delicious! For this recipe, I used some homemade hibiscus tea, rich in antioxidants and other beneficial compounds.
23. Watermelon Sangria 🍉
A twist to the traditional Spanish sangria, made with white wine, fresh watermelon pulp and juice, and a refreshing hard lime seltzer. For a non-alcoholic beverage, just swap the white wine with some alcohol-free wine or lemon soda + grape juice.
24. Strawberry Detox Lemonade 🍓
Rich in detoxifying compounds, this Strawberry Detox Lemonade is my signature drink! The perfect refreshing beverage for your Spring barbeques, or Easter brunch!
25. Blackberry Mint Lemonade 🍋
Rich in simple sugars (from the fruit), this blackberry mint lemonade is a perfect pick-me-up for your endless Easter lunch! Plus, it contains lots of antioxidants from the blackberries and lemon.
