Naturally Dyed Deviled Eggs
If you're wondering how to naturally dye deviled eggs, this recipe is for you! I'm going to show you how to dye these beautiful pink deviled eggs with a homemade beet juice. They will wow your guests and look beautiful on your Easter table!
Equipment
- 1 High Speed Blender
Ingredients
- 6 Hard Boiled Eggs
- 1 Large Beet, cut into fourths.
- 2-3 Cups Filtered Water
Instructions
- Start by cutting the hard-boiled eggs in half the long way. Flip them upside down over a small bowl and the yolk should pop right out! If you have trouble, you can use a spoon to remove the remaining yolk.
- Next, place all the egg whites on a paper towel lined plate, tray, or baking sheet.
- Cut the beet into fourths. (You can peel the beet, but it might get messy!)
- Then add the roughly chopped beet into a blender with 2-3 cups of water. Blend on high until you have a smooth, vibrant colored juice. NOTE: You can strain the beet juice with a cheese cloth to make it even smoother, but it's not necessary.
- Pour the fresh beet juice into a small bowl. Then put the egg with the round side up on a fork. Fully submerge the egg white for about 15-30 seconds for a lighter pink color. For a deeper color, leave the egg white in for 1-2 minutes.
- Then set each dyed egg on a plate and repeat until all egg whites are dyed pink.
- When finished dyeing all the eggs, carefully rinse each egg and pat dry with a paper towel.
Notes
Expert Tips
- If you don't have a blender, you can also purchase beet juice at most local grocery stores. This will also save time.
- To make the beet juice even smoother, strain it with a cheese cloth first.
- You can also use a juicer instead of blender! Save the leftover beet juice and mix it with a variety of other fruits and vegetables for a homemade juice drink.
- Add more water to the beet juice to make the color less concentrated.
- For a beautiful contrasting color, dip whole eggs in the beet juice BEFORE you cut them in half! This will leave distinct white line.
- Test one egg first to see how long you should leave each egg in the beet juice to reach your desired color.
How to Store Leftovers
Leftover deviled eggs should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. **For more information and step by step photos, see full post!Nutrition
