11 Healthy Vegetarian Recipes for Easter
Veggie-Packed Couscous Spring Soup
Oh how I love a good springtime soup! This hearty veggie soup features Israeli couscous and peak season produce, including asparagus, Swiss chard, parsley and lemon.
Blueberry Biscuits
These healthy blueberry biscuits are a vegan recipe that comes together with just a handful of ingredients and couple minutes of prep time. Perfect for an Easter breakfast, brunch or lunch!
Spring Veggie & Fontina Quiche
Quiche tends to be a crowd pleaser, and this spring veggie and fontina quiche features in-season ingredients like asparagus, zucchini and yellow squash.
Bonus: Quiche is great to make ahead of time. Just last weekend, I made a few quiches two days before I had my parents over for brunch. Simply prep and bake it ahead of time, cover in foil, and store in the fridge until you’re ready to reheat it in the oven and enjoy.
Baked Churro Donuts
Donuts for a special holiday breakfast? Count me in!
I made this vegan churro donuts recipe healthier by baking them, using oats & almond flours as my base and limiting the sugar to a more reasonable quantity (but I promise that they’re still deliciously sweet!).
Mediterranean Farro Salad
This vegetarian farro salad recipe features lots of veggies, toasted pine nuts, crumbled feta and a light lemon olive oil dressing – and it’s packed with the hearty ancient grain known as farro of course!
Cherry Berry Cobbler
Made with blueberries, cherries, whole wheat flour, honey, and coconut oil, this healthy cobbler recipe is perfect for either brunch or dessert.
Creamy Spring Veggie & Asparagus Puree Soup
Yet another spring soup makes the list because I adore it! This creamy spring veggie soup is probably the most creative soup recipe I’ve come up with. It features a creamy base of pureed asparagus, coconut milk and lemon juice. This spring soup also packs in the veggies with the inclusion of radishes, spinach, white beans and zucchini. Elbow pasta gives the soup some heartiness. It’s great as an appetizer or can be a main event paired with fresh bread!
5-Ingredient Italian Croutons
Make a simple side salad special by tossing in some easy homemade croutons. Whenever I make these 5-ingredient croutons, I can’t stop eating them!
Lemon Goat Cheese Pasta with Asparagus
For a healthy Easter pasta dish, try my lemon goat cheese pasta with asparagus– a 30-minute meal bursting with fresh flavors.
Mini Vegan Strawberry Cheesecakes
This mini vegan cheesecake recipe is a fun idea for an unconventional Easter dessert. The recipe uses an easy graham cracker crust + a cashew & plant-based cream cheese center, and they’re topped with a fresh strawberry sauce – making them the perfect sweet tooth bite!
Healthy Cinnamon Oat Bread
My cinnamon oat bread recipe is a more nutritious play on the typical white flour, butter, and refined sugar-filled cinnamon swirl breads we all know and love. It’s a fun recipe idea for an Easter brunch or lunch.
Wishing you a Happy Easter and a lovely start to spring!
