Celebrate Passover with these colorful and flavorful Passover Vegetable Cups, the perfect blend of tradition and creativity. These individual-sized bites feature a crispy matzo meal crust filled with a vibrant medley of sautéed zucchini, red bell pepper, purple onion, and baby spinach, seasoned with a fragrant mix of garlic powder, paprika, and fresh parsley. Ideal as an appetizer or side dish, these vegetable cups are not only kosher for Passover but also visually stunning and packed with wholesome ingredients. Ready in under an hour, they're a deliciously easy way to elevate your holiday table while keeping it festive and nutritious.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the matzo meal, water, egg, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
Lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil and press the dough into the bottoms and sides of each cup to create small crusts.
Dice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and purple onion into small, even-sized pieces.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced vegetables and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until wilted.
Season the vegetable mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to combine.
Fill each matzo crust with the sautéed vegetable mixture, pressing lightly to pack the filling.
Bake the vegetable cups in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden and crisp.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cups cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Garnish each vegetable cup with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
