25 Vegetarian Passover Recipes You'll Look Forward to All Seder Long

Passover seders are steeped in a rich, vibrant tradition. There’s the reading of the Haggadah, the remembrance of the 10 plagues, and the four questions. And when it comes to the main meal at a Passover seder, most revolve around a meat-centered dish, such as brisket. Because Passover dictates that no leavened bread can be eaten, meat is often the go-to centerpiece, especially since common vegetarian dishes like pasta are out of the question. But rest assured, there are vegetarian Passover recipes that are both kosher for Passover and meat-free. The key is to lean into your love of vegetables and choose meatless Passover meals that have innovative vegetable combinations and feature an array of spices.

Although Passover centers on strong traditions, Jewish families can and often do decide how they want to conduct their seders. For example, some seders last multiple hours, while others start and end in the same amount of time as a typical weeknight dinner. But whether your family enjoys a longer seder or one that’s short and sweet, one thing you can count on is that there are always people around the table who anxiously await the main meal. And if you have vegetarians at your seder, there are plenty of options that are tasty and kosher for Passover. Whether you opt for one of the bright and fresh salads on the following list, or one of the hearty grilled vegetables, you can feel confident that everyone around your Passover dinner table will enjoy their meal.
