Dust lightly with Parmesan cheese and pop in the oven. It's the perfect savory tart for spring. This impressive treat can be served piping hot, warm, or even cold.

Here's a healthy Easter appetizer that's also adorable! "Vegetable platters need not look all look the same," says Ashley Baron Rodriguez. "Here, fresh spring vegetables sit in an herb-laced hummus to resemble a spring garden in full bloom. My kids loved plucking the crisp vegetables from the garden, so much so that I think they forgot that they were filling themselves up with such a healthful snack."
