⭐️ Best Easter Side Dish Recipes ⭐️
These easy Easter side dishes will give your guests ample choice, and they all work perfectly with whatever main dish you decide to serve, be it the traditional roast lamb, a decadent pork wellington, or a fish dish like a whole salmon en croute.
1. Garlic Potato Roses
Soft and buttery, with lashings of garlic and fresh thyme, no one can ever get enough of these cute potato roses. They taste great on the side of any roast dinner and can be made in advance and reheated, too.
2. Root Vegetable Mash
If you want an alternative to potatoes, this herb and root vegetable mash makes a great and more uniue side dish for Easter.
3. Carrots en Papillote
Elevate your carrots by baking them in a parchment pocket filled with herbs, spices, honey and meat stock. You won't believe the different it makes.
4. Potato nests
What can be more Easter than potato bird's nests! This Easter side dish makes a crispy and fun addition to the dinner that you can fill with other vegetables.
5. Giblet Gravy
Making a big Sunday roast for Easter and want to make homemade gravy? Use this easy recipe to make the richest, most flavorful gravy around.
6. Caramelized Shallots
Caramelized balsamic shallots are sticky, sweet, and savory all at once and make a fantastic and slightly unusual side dish. This Easter side dish can be made in advance and warmed up in the oven for 10 minutes before service - making it a winner in my book.
7. Roasted Hasselback Carrots
The hasselback vegetable trend shows no sign of slowing down, and it isn't hard to see why. Roast carrots with delicious honey and rosemary flavor, that look as good as they tatse.
8. Gorgonzola Baked Leeks
This Easter side dish recipe is pure decadenace. Leeks are baked in a creamy, rich blue cheese sauce and topped with crunchy panko breadcrumbs.
9. Truffle Broccoli Asparagus Puree
A truffle broccoli and asparagus puree is an easy way to add color, texture, and moisture to a plate of food, as well as a hit of decadent flavor! This puree takes minutes to make and can be done in advance.
10. Asparagus with smoked gouda, browned butter and walnuts
Looking for Easter asparagus recipes? With asparagus in season, it's a no-brainer to serve it as a side dish for Easter dinner, and this Easter side dish recipe is a decadently delicious way to dress up your spears.
11. Potato Boulangere
This Potato Boulangere recipe is a potato & onion bake that is very easy to make and a lighter alternative to creamy dauphinoise potatoes. This rustic French dish complements most meat, chicken, or fish dishes, but especially succulent roast lamb, so it works perfectly at Easter.
12. Fluffy Dinner Rolls
Being able to say you made the bread rolls in the breadbasket yourself is a huge flex that your guests will be enormously impressed with. You only need 7 ingredients to make these fluffy homemade dinner rolls. Soft and delicious, and what's more, you can make them ahead of time.
13. Spring Asparagus Salad with Crispy Prosciutto
Because sometimes, we want something a bit lighter! Roast side dishes are delicious but to get some leafy greens in your menu too, try this . It's a great side dish if you're looking for Easter salad recipes and the asparagus will be fresh and in season.
14. Brussel Sprouts With Balsamic Glaze
Brussel sprouts aren't just for Christmas! Try these roasted Brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze as an easy vegetable side dish for Easter Sunday dinner. The nuts add some crunch, and it will convert any haters who cling to their Brussel's sprout prejudice.
15. Gouda cheddar parmesan scalloped potatoes
Cheesy potatoes are the perfect decadent Easter side dish for roast lamb. Smoked Gouda, white cheddar, and parmesan cheese go especially well together and make this a deliciously tangy potato side dish to try.
Happy Easter - and enjoy your dinner and side dishes! Got any other recommendations for me? Let me know in the comments.
Looking for dessert too? Try my cute little chocolate meringue nests.
