Would you believe us if we told you these eggs were dyed with vegetables? It’s true! Just combine your veggie of choice with water and vinegar and boil for a bit, and you’re ready to dip your eggs in beautifully natural hues.
Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs
Ingredients
Makes 12 servings
- 12 Vital Farms eggs, (hard-boiled and cooled)
- vinegar, (distilled white, white wine, and apple cider all work)
- 2 cups red onion skins
- 2 cups yellow onion skins
- 2 cups red cabbage, (thinly sliced or shredded)
- 2 tablespoons dried ground turmeric
- 2 cups raw beets, (shredded)
Instructions
- Select which colors you’d like to create then add each ingredient to a pot along with 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 2 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil and allow ingredients to simmer for 30 minutes. Strain mixtures and pour dyes into bowls or large jars.
- Add eggs to jars, cover, and refrigerate until desired color is reached. We found at least 4 hours and up to overnight yielded the darkest colors.
- Remove eggs from dyes, allow to air-dry on a paper towel then admire your art!
