There’s more to passover than just Seder Dinner….and here you’ll find healthy passover recipes to help you get through all 8 days! Passover food can taste incredible! Enjoying those other 22 passover meals is all about celebrating all we CAN eat during this holiday.
Vegetables don’t have to be BORING…I’m here to help you find some joy in making easy recipes for passover that taste great and are also good for you. I’ve broken this post into categories, so it’ll be easy to find what you’re looking for.
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 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. Your Passover menus don’t have to be complicated….choose from these easy recipes to complement your meals and spend less time cooking.
However…the number one post on this site for Passover (and, to be honest, year round) is my Cauliflower Onion Rolls.…and I’d be hard pressed to put them into just one category! They’re in for some stiff competition this year from this runaway recipe hit Cauliflower Kugel. If you sense a cauliflower theme, you’re on to something. My advice: stock up on cauliflower for Passover….you’ll find a way to turn it into all the things….steaks and whole roasted, rice, tabbouleh, soup, salad passover breakfast, vegan main dishes, and more!
