Vegan Sliders
Crafted with love, these vegan sliders are a game-day winner. Hearty brioche buns are the perfect vessel for perfectly seasoned chickpea vegan burger patties and an assortment of just-right toppings. Chickpeas offer a fantastic alternative to ground beef due to their high protein content and satisfying filling properties. The magic happens when liquid smoke and nutritional yeast are added, transforming chickpeas into smoky and nutty burgers that delight the taste buds.
While they may not resemble traditional beef patties, their flavor is truly unbeatable.
Vegan Spinach Dip
Parties just got a lot more delicious with this mouthwatering spinach dip recipe that’s perfect for game-day gatherings. It’s an incredibly hearty snack, packed with fresh spinach, garlic, and onion that will surely satisfy any crowd. To make it vegan-friendly, simply swap out the traditional cream and mayo for their plant-based alternatives.
This recipe is a breeze to prepare, allowing you to easily create a spread of dippable delights like crackers, veggies, or extra bread to complement your spinach dip.
Creamy Vegan Queso
Parties just aren’t complete without a delicious and indulgent queso dip, especially on the biggest day in football – the Super Bowl. This plant-based option combines the creaminess of cashews with the comforting warmth of potatoes, all blended together with a robust seasoning that gives it an unparalleled depth of flavor. When served with a big bowl of crunchy tortilla chips, this luscious vegan queso is sure to disappear faster than the score on the board by halftime.
Chipotle Guacamole
Yesterday, I shared my love for Chipotle’s legendary guacamole, renowned for its silky smooth texture and subtle nuances of flavor courtesy of red onions, lime juice, and cilantro. One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Chipotle’s success with their guac can be attributed to their commitment to using simple, fresh ingredients, which they also employ in their homemade version.
The flavor profile is expertly balanced, boasting a perfect harmony of tartness, creaminess, and just the right amount of heat from finely chopped jalapenos. Pair this delicious guacamole with a bowl of crunchy tortilla chips for a game-day treat that’s sure to be a touchdown!
Vegan Buffalo Wings
Just like traditional buffalo wings, these vegan versions are designed to mimic the rich, meaty flavor that we all know and love – sans the meat, of course. One of my go-to ingredients for replicating this taste is homemade wheat gluten, which I just adore. What’s great about it is how effortlessly it comes together using basic pantry staples, resulting in a dish that’s both simple to make and incredibly flavorful.
To complete the experience, these wings are breaded, deep-fried, and smothered in spicy buffalo sauce – and they’re even better when served with a variety of dipping sauces for added fun.
Vegan Quesadillas with Smoky Black Beans
You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t love the combination of crispy tortilla shells and gooey filling at your next Super Bowl party, and these vegan quesadillas are no exception. Not only do they cater to a variety of tastes with their trio of peppers, smoky black beans, and rich vegan cheese sauce, but they’re also incredibly easy to make in bulk. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to be a touchdown at any gathering.
Vegan Egg Rolls
Needless to say, one of the primary factors that renders traditional egg rolls non-vegan is not the filling itself, but rather the type of wrapper used. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to make a delicious and authentic-tasting version by substituting the standard wrappers with vegan-friendly alternatives.
When using vegan egg roll wrappers, you can freely experiment with all the classic fillings that are commonly associated with this beloved Chinese dish, including shredded cabbage, minced ginger, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic. Once prepared and deep-fried to a golden crisp, these tasty treats will undoubtedly be devoured in no time!
Easy Vegan Baked Taquitos
Honestly, the popular frozen bags of beefy taquitos may be hard to find in a vegan version, but fortunately, creating your own at home is surprisingly simple. The key to making them lies in the filling, which uses potatoes as a meat substitute and incorporates an abundance of rich and spicy Mexican seasoning.
Once prepared, simply arrange them on a plate, pop them into the oven until they’re golden and crispy, and you’ll be enjoying a delicious vegan version that’s just as satisfying as its non-vegetarian counterpart.
Vegan Pizza Bites
Looking for a delicious alternative to store-bought frozen vegan pizza rolls? Look no further! This homemade recipe is a bit more finicky than others, but trust me when I say it’s well worth the extra effort. With a ravioli press at your disposal, you can fill them with all of your favorite vegan pizza toppings – from classic pepperoni to loaded mushrooms and everything in between. The best part?
They emerge from the oven golden brown and bubbly, putting those frozen bags to shame without requiring any deep-frying skills whatsoever.
Ultimate Fully-Loaded Vegan Nachos
Boldly declaring itself as the ultimate game day food, nachos have become a staple for many sporting events and gatherings. These fully-loaded nachos ensure that no tortilla chip is left behind, making it easy to indulge in a snack-filled experience. With an array of toppings available, every bite delivers massive flavor, satisfying both vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.
Additionally, the inclusion of seasoned TVP (textured vegetable protein) still provides that meaty kick, making these vegan nachos a crowd-pleaser even for those who typically opt for traditional meat-based options.
Homemade Vegan Mozzarella Sticks
Everyone who has tried vegan mozzarella sticks will attest that they don’t compromise on taste, and in fact, are just as gooey and cheesy as their dairy-based counterparts. By using high-quality vegan mozzarella (Miyoko’s brand is particularly effective) combined with a flavorful breadcrumb seasoning, you can create an impressive snack that’s sure to delight both vegans and non-vegans alike.
Whether you choose to serve them with your favorite store-bought marinara sauce or elevate the experience by making your own dipping sauce from scratch, these mozzarella sticks are guaranteed to be a hit with everyone who tries them.

Healthy Vegan Onion Rings

While traditional breaded and deep-fried onion rings may not be exactly what you’d consider healthy food, this recipe gets you close to that perfect balance. By swapping out the deep fryer for an air fryer, you can enjoy crispy and golden onion rings without all the extra calories.
The secret lies in a savory bread crumber batter that adheres perfectly to every nook and cranny of the onion ring, resulting in a deliciously crunchy exterior and a tender interior.
