Craving deviled eggs but currently on a vegan diet? Look no further! Here’s the vegan deviled eggs recipe you need for the upcoming summer months.
Deviled eggs are a classic all-time favorite in the United States, often served as an appetizer or side dish during holiday meals, potlucks, or special gatherings. It is also a well-known summertime food that you can make when going for a picnic or when you host a family lunch, and you can almost guarantee that everyone will like them. The traditional recipe uses boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, and spices, which means they are not suitable for vegans. So, if you’ve been looking for a vegan deviled eggs recipe that tastes like the real thing, you came to the right place. In this article we’ll show you how to make egg-free deviled eggs with only a handful of ingredients.
If you are already a vegan, you probably have most of the ingredients for the vegan deviled eggs recipe in your kitchen. However, you may have to get a couple of less common things if you want to achieve the best results. First, we recommend you get agar agar powder, which will help give your “egg whites” the same consistency as real ones. Secondly, you’ll want to find black salt (or Kala Namak), as it’s an ingredient often used to give vegan food an egg-like flavor. And, if you want your vegan deviled eggs to also have an egg shape, you can find silicone egg molds on Amazon**. Alternatively, you can use cube or muffin trays.
