What should I serve on Easter Sunday?
I often find myself asking, “what should I bring to Easter dinner?”. Every year I like to make traditional Easter recipes like ham and roast beef, and sometimes I’ll even cook up some grilled lamb chops. But I’ll tell you a secret… the side dishes are what I look forward to the most!
For my family, the perfect Easter dinner recipes include…
- A main course everyone will love – I like to serve ham and roast beef
- Scalloped potatoes or mashed potatoes – potatoes are a must!
- Vegetables like carrots, green beans, and brussels sprouts; my family also likes sweet potatoes
- Casseroles make easy side dishes for ham – I always serve one or two!
- Something sweet for dessert, of course!
What goes with ham dinner?
The best side dishes for ham are cheesy potatoes and roasted vegetables. I love serving ham with carrots, green beans, and potatoes au gratin. They make the most delicious Easter recipes!
Below are my favorite easy side dishes for ham and more. I know you’re going to love our Easter dinner ideas!
Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots
My easy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots are always a part of my Easter lunch ideas and dinner plans. These are the best roasted carrots that are tender and a little bit crisp with the most amazing seasoning.
Green Bean Almondine
This dish is one of my specialties – Green Beans Almondine! I love this dish and make it for every special occasion. It makes one of the best Easter side dishes!
Air Fryer Asparagus Fries
Cooking holiday meals in the Air Fryer has quickly become one of my favorite ways to prepare them! These Air Fryer Asparagus Fries are one of my favorite Easter recipes, especially with Air Fryer Ham. A full holiday meal in minutes!
Garlic Butter White Button Mushrooms
It just doesn’t get any better than garlic butter sauce, especially on these White Button Mushrooms. Mushrooms make perfect easy side dishes for ham and roast beef. I make them every year!

One of my favorite Easter lunch ideas ever: Orange and Fennel Salad. The bright and zesty flavors of this salad recipe make it a great choice for pairing with your ham dinner.
Lemon Orzo Pasta Salad
Zesty Lemon Orzo Pasta Salad is a must for serving on Easter Sunday. Along with our Cheesy Orzotto, this is one of my favorite orzo recipes to serve for the holidays.
Bacon Jalapeño Deviled Eggs
Ham and deviled eggs are a perfect match! These Jalapeno Deviled Eggs with Cream Cheese and Bacon are like little jalapeno poppers in deviled egg form. I serve them every year – they’re one of my favorite easy side dishes for ham!

One of my family’s most-requested ham dinner sides… Baked Creamed Corn Casserole! I drizzle it with honey once it’s done, and it’s better than any cornbread I’ve ever had. I know you’ll love this dish as a part of your Easter sides for ham and more.
Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecans
Beautiful Southern Sweet Potato Casserole skips the marshmallows in favor of a crunchy pecan topping. This is one of the best Easter dishes with so much flavor in every bite. My family never has a holiday meal without it!
