Spring is in the air, and it is time for a flavorful Easter menu that will bring everyone together around the table. Easter dinner is the main event of the season, and it is all about sharing delicious food with your loved ones.

If you are looking for easy Easter menu ideas or perhaps some non traditional Easter dinner menu ideas, you have come to the right place. I know that many families look for non ham Easter dinner ideas, so I have gathered my favorite Easter main dishes not ham and hearty sides that are appetizing and festive. Whether you want a cozy roast or a cheesy casserole, these Easter meals are sure to be a hit.

Turkey Pot Roast

Turkey Pot Roast is a phenomenal one-pot Easter dinner idea. If you are hosting a smaller gathering, you will love it because you roast the turkey breast together with the vegetables. The veggies add so much flavor to the turkey, and they double as a built-in side dish. I love this recipe because it requires very little prep time, and while everything is baking in the oven, I can hang around with my family.

Turkey Smash Burger

If you are looking for something playful and different for your Easter meals, why not try a Turkey Smash Burger?

Apple Cranberry Stuffing

Apple Cranberry Stuffing is a dainty side dish that brings a hint of sweetness to your Easter menu. I love the combination of tangy cranberries and crisp apples mixed with savory herbs. It pairs perfectly with turkey or chicken and adds a wonderful flavor to the plate.

Baked Ziti

Baked Ziti is a hidden gem when you want a low-prep meal for Easter dinner. Your family will love the combination of pasta and meat in a velvety tomato sauce with plenty of cheese. To make it feel more like spring, I like to serve it alongside a fresh green salad. It is a hearty and impressive meal that allows you to spend more time with your guests and less time in the kitchen.

Cauliflower Risotto

Cauliflower Risotto is a creamy and easy idea that you can serve as a side dish or a main meal. I love how the cauliflower in the combination with risotto rice makes this dish extra creamy. This risotto is a wonderful vegetarian addition to your holiday table and is one of those Easter dinner recipes that feels fancy without being complicated to prepare.

Green Bean Casserole

It wouldn’t be a holiday without a classic Green Bean Casserole. I love the crunch of the topping combined with the tender beans and creamy sauce. It is a timeless side dish that fits perfectly into any easy Easter menu ideas list. 

Vegetable Soup

I always find that a warm plate of Vegetable Soup is the perfect starter for a big meal. It is a heartwarming soup that whets your appetite and adds a healthy touch to your Easter menu. My Vegetable Soup is easy to make, and while it is simmering, you can focus on your other dishes. It’s light, flavorful, and a lovely way to begin the celebration.

Cauliflower Casserole

Cauliflower Casserole is another one of my favorite Easter dinner recipes because it is so versatile. I love how creamy the casserole is from the yogurt sauce, and how the vegetables bring the flavor. You can serve it as a vegetarian main dish, or as a flavorful side next to roasted turkey or chicken.

Chicken Mushroom Pasta

Chicken Mushroom Pasta is a wonderful option if you are looking for Easter main dishes not ham. I love how the silky mushroom sauce pairs with the tender chicken and pasta. It is a luscious and flavorful meal. Grate some parmesan cheese on top while it’s still warm, and you have a finger-licking meal that everyone will enjoy.

I hope these ideas help you create a holiday table that is full of joy and delicious food! Which of these recipes will you be adding to your Easter dinner plans this year?
