Easter cooking doesn't have to be boring for vegans and these recipes prove why
Vegans won't miss out with these deliciously festive Easter recipes.
Easter is the perfect time to try cooking with more vegetables as it's peak springtime and a lot of delicious veggies are in season and at their best.
If you're vegan then you're in for a treat as we have a whole host of Easter-themed recipes for you. From warming vegetable soups, to gorgeous vegan pies and dairy-free desserts, there's no compromising on flavour when it comes to vegan Easter recipes.
Some of our favourite vegan Easter recipes includes our hasselback squash which is much easier than it looks and makes a really striking centrepiece on the table, the bright and beautiful ratatouille recipe and it wouldn't be Easter without hot cross buns and our vegan recipe is just as good as the original!
Have you ever thought about making your entire Easter meal vegan, or if you can't sacrifice lamb, even just part of it? Try making a vegan soup for a starter, or try your hand at a veggie side. Plus, you can make plenty of desserts nowadays that are totally dairy and animal product free (and still taste as good without compromising on texture either).
Here are our best vegan Easter recipes you should try this year.
