It’s that time of year where spring is in the air, good produce is abundant, and brunch is everyone’s favorite meal. What a wonderful time of year! Whatever your Easter looks like this year, I am confident you will all love this roundup for Healthy Easter Recipes.

Oh, and if you’re planning a brunch spread as your main meal, plenty of delicious options there too!

Before we get started, if you need some inspiration on how to hard boil eggs in the Air Fryer, or for a way to use up hard boiled eggs, you’ll want to check out this post on Avocado Egg Salad! I’ve also included hard boiling eggs in the air fryer in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Light Main Courses

In recent years, I’ve been wanting to do more lighter main courses so that the star is on the vegetable sides and salads! You can always do a traditional ham or turkey, but maybe you want to switch things up with a salmon or chicken dish.

• Lemon Chicken Piccata
• Instant Pot Ham (recipe from Real Simple Good)

Light and Healthy Desserts!

And for the grand finale, Dessert! Traditionally, we think of Carrot Cake when we eat Easter dessert. I have a fantastic Carrot Cake recipe, or carrot cake bars if you want something easier. BUT, don’t forget about chocolate!! I’ve included a nice variety of chocolate, fruit desserts, and carrot cake. All of these recipes are gluten-free and Paleo.
