For me, holidays are all about the food. While nothing beats Thanksgiving, any excuse to make a ton of food sounds like a great celebration to me. A lot of people think that holiday foods have to be extremely labor intensive, and sometimes are not even worth the effort; those people are wrong! In this list of Easter dishes under 5 ingredients, you'll find sweet and savory options that take little time or expertise at all. Whether you celebrate Easter or not, I recommend whipping up some of these treats and sharing them with friends, family, roommates, or whoever you are around this spring season.

If you've never had pavlova, you're missing out. It's basically a giant merengue cookie that you can load up with whipped cream and fresh berries.
5-Ingredient Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon rolls don't quite count as the classic Easter hot crossed buns, but they're pretty dang close. Keep it simple and make these easy cinnamon rolls to please you and any company you have with dairy restrictions!
Easter Rabbit Hole Cookies
Easter desserts don't get much cuter than this. These adorable, chocolate bunny bum's are made with a delicious amount of Nutella and some basic ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Out of everything I eat on Easter, scalloped potatoes are probably my favorite. Who doesn't love creamy, crispy, buttery potatoes?

Honey Baked Ham
I couldn't write an article about Easter and leave out ham. This honey baked ham is the perfect mix of sweet and savory for your feast.
Parmesan Roasted Green Beans
Just because it's a holiday doesn't mean you can skip out on your greens! Make 'em a little tastier by coating them in crispy parmesan.

Easter Fudge
You have to indulge a little (or a lot) for the holidays. This quick recipe is adorable and addicting. These will get eaten faster than you can make them!

Asparagus can be gross, but not when they're in season! This lemony recipe is equally buttery and refreshing.
