62 Mouth-Watering, Easy Easter Dinner Recipes to Try This Year (1)

Volunteering to host an important family get-together like Christmas dinner or the annual Halloween party might be exciting, but it also comes with a lot of pressure. And planning Easter dinner recipes is no different. Managing Easter decorations and Easter co*cktails as well as the appetizers and dinner can seem fun in theory, but overwhelming in actuality, especially if you don't plan ahead. Choosing the perfect recipes and ingredients a week or more before the holiday is the key to making the experience fun, stress-free, and smooth. Choosing a variety of recipes that can be prepped ahead of time is important, too.

No matter what type of Easter dinner table you're imagining, from casual to vegetarian to multi-course, there are so many different recipes to choose from. You could choose fresh, light, and spring-focused flavors or you could lean into the cold weather and cook hearty, comforting options that will leave everyone feeling very full and very happy. No matter what you cook, just know that everyone will be eating some Easter candy later, so it's better to focus on the entree than the dessert. Need somewhere to start for your meal planning? Here are 62 recipes that would be perfect for Easter dinner.
