The best part? These Delicious Passover Recipes connect me to generations that came before me and those yet to come. An even more comprehensive list of Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes for Passover, including some that need a few tweaks to make them Kosher for Passover can be found on my Passover Recipes Page.

Before we move on, let me introduce you to my recipe for crispy quinoa...you’re going to want to add this as a topping for your sweet and your savory dishes, so do yourself a favor and whip up a batch!

It can be challenging to find meals that are tasty, compliant with Passover dietary laws and also nutritious. Therefore, my Pesach Recipes are perfect for celebrating this important holiday, AND also utilize as much fresh fruits and vegetables as possible.

My recipes cater to various dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan diets, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a delicious Passover meal. 

Whether you’re looking for a main course, side dishes, a delicious Passover breakfast or a scrumptious Passover dessert, I have easy recipes for you to add to your Passover Menus.

What is Passover?

Passover is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the Israelites’ liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. During this time, many Jewish people refrain from eating leavened bread and other foods made from grains that have been fermented. Instead they eat unleavened bread, also known as matzah, and other traditional Passover food.

Passover is the most widely celebrated Jewish holiday with more than 70% of Jewish Americans taking part in a seder, its ritual meal.

And, what would Passover be without a little shmear for your Matzah? You won’t be able to resist my vegetarian chopped liver…the BEST Passover Appetizer out there. Tastes just like my grandmothers…but without the saturated fat from the liver and shmaltz!

There’s more to Passover than just Seder Dinner….and here you’ll find Healthy Passover Recipes to help you get through the entire Passover week. Let’s do this…It’s going to be insanely delicious!

Grid of 9 photos of passover recipes: cauliflower rolls, arugula salad, whole roasted cauliflower, sheperds pie, zucchini rollatini, cauliflower kugel, moroccan carrots, double chocolate cookies, veggie broth

The biggest category, by far, is the Passover Side Dishes. I think that’s where people struggle the most. To come up with a variety of tasty sides, to go with your main dish, that don’t have chametz doesn’t have to be challenging. You’ll find a great array of veggies, used in different ways and with different flavors so you can find something that everyone will enjoy. Try a couple new recipes this year to create interest at your Passover table.

Passover Side Dish Recipes

Vegetables don’t have to be BORING. The Best Passover Sides are super tasty and easy to make. Here you’ll find delicious Vegetarian and Vegan Kosher For Passover Side Dishes for all your Pesach Meals.

My best advice…stock up on cauliflower! You can use it to take a traditional recipe into a plant-forward cauliflower rice or cauliflower onion roll, cauliflower steak or cauliflower salad….and my all time favorite vegetable kugel…you guessed it….Cauliflower Kugel.

I’ve rounded up some of my favorite passover side dishes here for you. Pick one, pick two….oh, there’s a whole week….these are easy side dish recipes for Passover….make them all! Let’s focus on all the goodness we CAN eat rather than what’s off limits.

Passover Desserts

Yes, healthy Passover desserts are a thing! Delicious Kosher for Passover Desserts don’t have to spike your blood sugar or use ultra processed ingredients. I tend to use almond flour over matzo meal and potato starch for some extra protein to help stabilize blood sugar. I like to use dates and other natural sweeteners, like maple syrup. All of the desserts you’ll find here are made without processed white or brown sugar

Some of our family favorite desserts that we make all year long are also kosher for Passover…how awesome! Occasionally you’ll find eggs in these recipes, but you will also find many vegan passover dessert recipes and never any dairy. Dairy-free means you can serve these parve passover desserts no matter what was in your Passover meal.  

My fall back plan used to always be chocolate-covered matzo, and I still do make it sometimes, but it’s usually served on a platter surrounded by chocolate dipped fruit.

It’s possible to make Kosher for Passover Desserts that everyone will ADORE. Here are some of my favorites:

Arugula and Spinach Pesto

You can make pesto with any greens and nuts. This delicious pesto recipe uses fresh arugula and spinach, plus a combo of pine nuts and walnuts for super flavor. Blend with garlic and lemon for a tasty dip or shmear for your matzo.

    I’m sorry that your recipes include eggs. Eggs are not WFPB.

      Every recipe here is very carefully marked so you know what to expect. Many are WFPBNO, most are plant-based or vegan and occasionally there will be recipes that contain eggs. If you search the recipe index you can include “no oil” for example or “grain-free” or “vegan” to just show the recipes you’re most interested in. I cater to an audience looking to eat more mindfully with a healthier twist on traditional Jewish recipes and try to create an inclusive environment so everyone can find what they’re looking for in their own health and wellness journey without judgement.
