Need vegetarian Easter recipe ideas for your family gathering? You’re in the right place. I always think of lots of hard boiled eggs, carrots, and spring time fruit and desserts.

**Let’s first start with a quick list about some things commonly found at Easter that many people do not realize are NOT vegetarian:

  • Marshmallows: contain gelatin.This includes the popular Easter candy PEEPSAlternative: Use marshmallow creme for some recipes, or vegan marshmallow options are available on amazon and some health food stores.
  • Jello: contains gelatin. Alternative: vegan jello like Bakol Jel.
  • WINES : Did you know some wines have additives or “fining agents” that aren’t vegetarian-friendly? Keep this in mind if this is important to you, and pay attention to labels. “Vegan wine” isn’t a given unless the bottle or company says so. (Hot tip: My favorite wine club is vegan-certified.)

On to the recipes!

A list of vegetarian Easter recipe ideas for your holiday family brunch or gathering. From carrots to hard boiled eggs, to breads and even vegan desserts, you're sure to find something you like in this list!
