This post shows you some delicious Easter dinner side dishes.
Not going to lie but the side dishes are my favorite part of Easter dinner. While I love a juicy ham or turkey there is just something about the sides that just hit different. There are tons of different side dishes to choose from for Easter dinner so I have put together my favorite Easter dinner side dishes that you should add to your menu immediately.
1. Roasted Carrot Salad
Considering it’s Easter I feel like carrots should have a part in the meal. This tasty roasted carrot salad has dried cranberries, arugula, and crumbled Danish blue cheese. If you aren’t a big fan of blue cheese I feel like feta or goat cheese would be a great substitute.
2. Loaded Scalloped Potato Casserole
This creamy scalloped potato casserole is loaded with bacon, cheese, and a delicious cream sauce. It is a great dish to prepare ahead of time and then throw it in the oven before dinner to finish it off.
3. Honey Butter Skillet Corn
We love a simple and cost effective recipe that is also delicious. This honey butter skillet corn side dish is only a few ingredients and incredibly quick to prepare for a crowd. I love the addition of a little bit of cream cheese to make it extra creamy.
4. Broccoli Salad
This is always the side dish my family asks me to bring for any occasion and for good reason. This creamy broccoli salad is a hit with everyone. Again you can make this ahead of time and then dress it about an hour before dinner to let the dressing soak in. I have opted to use sunflower seeds instead of almonds as there are allergies in my family and its just as tasty.
5. Bacon & Garlic Green Beans
Bacon and Garlic Green Beans, a side dish recipe that’s easy enough to enjoy with weeknight dinners & perfect for Easter, Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners too.
6. Garlic Bread Rolls
Is it even a holiday dinner without some soft and fluffy dinner rolls?! These tasty rolls are covered with a savory garlic butter. Not going to lie I would probably spoil my whole meal by eating way too many of these.
7. Peas and Pancetta
Don’t let the title of this recipe fool you! This is a fantastic dish for ANY holiday not just Thanksgiving. We love a savory and sweet dish with the sweet pears and savory bacon. Enjoy!
8. Crispy Roast Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic
9. Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
Even those friends and family members who claim to hate broccoli will fall in love with this recipe. Roasting the broccoli adds a depth of flavor, saltiness from the parmesan, and a zing from the lemon juice.
10. Homemade Baked Mac and Cheese
If you’re looking to have a casual Easter dinner this side dish is for you! A creamy mac and cheese topped with a crisp panko crust makes for a great side dish especially with ham in my opinion. But, you can serve this with almost anything and it will be fantastic!
11. Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
12. Crack Green Beans
This recipe will make any green bean hater obsessed! Smothered green beans in bacon, brown sugar, butter, and more and its ready in under an hour. What’s your favorite way to eat green beans?
13. Strawberry Spinach Salad
14. Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
These honey balsamic roasted brussels sprouts are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Roasting them in the oven really brings out the sweetness and makes them very crispy. You could also add in some cooked bacon bits as well.
15. Oven Roasted Garlic Parmesan Asparagus
These crispy crunchy oven roasted asparagus are incredibly delicious. Asparagus tends to be a favorite even amongst those who aren’t big veggie fans. This recipe is oven to table in under 15 minutes. Bonus!
16. Best Baked Sweet Potato with Feta
If you’re on the hunt for a cozy side dish then this is for you. This warm and savory dish is quick and simple to whip up with only 3 ingredients and a handful of spices. It works great for any holiday or even just a family dinner.
17. Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs
18. Garlic Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes
Garlic Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes are the ultimate side dish, combining elegance and simplicity in one recipe. These potatoes are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with rich garlic, butter, and Parmesan flavors.
19. Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots
Did you think we would only have one carrot recipe? These tender honey garlic butter carrots will be the talk of the town after Easter dinner. With only a handful of ingredients these are as simple and delicious as it gets.
20. Duchess Potatoes
These aren’t your average mashed potatoes. Duchess potatoes contain egg yolks which create an incredibly rich texture. Piping them onto a baking sheet and putting them in the oven creates an amazing crispy outside with a creamy rich inside.
21. Warm Potato Salad
Warm potato salad was my moms go to for most holidays. I know what you are thinking but it is actually an amazing side dish. While this recipe in particular isn’t the one she used it’s a very popular one and for good reason!
22. Broccoli Au Gratin
Broccoli au gratin is just a fancy word for broccoli casserole but we promise it tastes great! Roasted broccoli covered in a divine cheese sauce and then topped with bread crumbs and crisped up. Taking broccoli to the next level.
