Dips

1. Creamy Baked Artichoke Dip

This recipe, adapted from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan, features French bread, artichoke hearts, spinach, and potatoes. Better make a double batch, because it’s sure to be a party favorite.

2. Ridiculously Good Guacamole in Five Minutes

Herbivoracious insists that you use ripe avocados because “[y]ou can’t make good guacamole from bad avocados.” Now that’s a rule to live by.

3. Easy Vegan Spinach Dip

Spinach dip is a must-have for any football party. Unexpected ingredients like water chestnuts, cashews, and tofu make this Spork Foods recipe extra special. Extra points if you get bread that’s shaped like a football—like we did!

4. Smoky Jalapeño Black Bean Dip

What self-respecting football party could be complete without black bean dip? The Vegan 8 is a master of simplicity with this and all other recipes, which use eight ingredients or less.

5. The Hummus That Changed Everything

Tabasco sauce is the secret ingredient in this recipe from Oh She Glows. The beauty of hummus is that you can change the ingredient ratios to suit your taste, so it’s a real winner no matter how spicy you like it.

6. Chocolate Chip–Peanut Butter Hummus

This delicious recipe is a simple concoction of garbanzo beans, peanut butter, agave nectar, and chocolate chips. We can’t think of a better dish to round off your party. Add vegan cookies for dipping.

7. Vegan 7-Layer Dip

Start the football fiesta off right with this Namely Marly recipe for classic seven-layer dip loaded with vegan meat crumbles, black beans, vegan sour cream, vegan cheese, guacamole, olives, and tomatoes.

8. Jackfruit Tacos

Let’s vow to cook with more jackfruit this year! Vegan Huggs uses the canned variety, with some garlic, onion, and spices added in. It’s the perfect recipe for an epic taco.

9. ‘Fish’ Sliders with Spicy Mango Slaw

Gardein says that its golden fishless filets are the best catch ever, and we couldn’t agree more. Add mango slaw to make this dish a tropical treat.

10. Vegan Hot Dogs Done Four Ways

Who doesn’t enjoy hearty dishes like hot dogs when watching football? Namely Marly creates the Holy Grail of vegan hot dog recipes. Her arsenal includes a Vegan Totcho Dog and a Vegan Mac and Cheese Dog. We love them all.

11. Vegan Tofu Banh Mi

Forget football: A platter of these Vietnamese sandwiches—packed with tofu, jalapeños, and cucumbers—will score major points at any party.

12. Easy Hummus Spiral Wraps

You can prepare a large number of these spirals in just a few minutes. Healthy Happy Life says that some of the best ingredients include roasted red pepper spread, baby spinach, edamame, and avocado. Yes, please!

13. Vegan Big Mac Sliders

Cadry’s Kitchen knows that people get really hungry during the game, so come prepared with these double-decker sliders. Try juicy Beyond Meat or Gardein patties.

14. Super Easy DIY Hot Pockets

Chow Vegan offers a kind of choose-your-own-adventure recipe with vegan pockets. You can fill them with pizza sauce, seitan sausage, and vegan cheese for an Italian pocket—or try sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and vegan cheese for a Mediterranean twist. Imagine the possibilities!

15. Tomato Basil Vegan Panini with Roasted Pepper

Healthy Happy Life makes these sammies look gorgeous with a panini press, but you can also fry them up in a pan. Either way, you’re on your way to grilled “cheese” euphoria.

16. Vegan Fried Chicken Sandwiches

Also known as PETA’s Cruelty-Free Chick-fil-A Copy-Cat Recipe, this sandwich is a favorite among staffers. (We recommend Gardein Chick’n Scallopini.)

18. Naughty & Nice Vegan Enchilada Casserole

This casserole, courtesy of Oh She Glows, features a Mexican-inspired medley of spiral pasta, enchilada sauce, beans, tortilla chips, Daiya cheddar-style shreds, and more. And the more cayenne pepper you add, the “naughtier” it gets.

19. Baked and Breaded Avocado Bites

These bites are party-perfect, as they take only 30 minutes to make and provide up to four servings. A gluten-free version can be made with a mix of gluten-free flour and crushed almonds.

These onion rings use chickpea flour, making them gluten-free. Seasoned with paprika and onion powder—and baked to crispy perfection—these are as healthy and yummy as any onion rings can be.

24. Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower ‘Wings’

Deliciously versatile, with just enough spice, our bite-sized pieces of cauliflower offer a tastier, healthier, and kinder experience than eating chicken wings.

Epicurean Vegan knows that making this classic appetizer is fun and simple. If you want to go for a healthier version, try Sandra Vungi’s vegan Carrots in a Blanket.

26. Southwest Salad With Creamy Chili-Lime Dressing

You should probably have at least one “healthy” option at your football party. This recipe is just that, featuring Frito corn chips, avocado, black beans, and vegan chicken (we recommend Beyond Meat’s Beyond Chicken Strips Southwest Style).

27. Buffalo Cauliflower Wing Pizza with Tofu Blue Cheese Spread

Keepin’ It Kind hits one out of the ballpark (or kicks one straight through the uprights) with this pizza, smothered with buffalo cauliflower wings and vegan blue cheese spread. It’s a vegan masterpiece if you ask us.

28. Baked Vegan Taquitos

By using vegan ingredients rather than animal products and by baking instead of frying, we can eliminate the guilt and layer on the flavor with these tasty taquitos (aka flautas).

29. Cheesy Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers

Cheesy, smoky, and a bit spicy, these vegan jalapeño poppers are the perfect addition to any appetizer spread.

31. Gluten-Free, Vegan Buffalo Mac N’ Cheese Balls

Keepin’ It Kind said it best when describing this appetizer: “We’re talking about balls of mac n’ cheese, covered in a buffalo sauce coating and cooked so that the outside is crispy and the inside is gooey and cheesy.” Yum!

We use Follow Your Heart’s vegan mozzarella block for this simple, tasty appetizer. Omega-filled flax seeds and bread crumbs make up the crispy outer layer. Fry ’em up, and you’re good to go.

37. Spring Pasta Salad

The words “refreshing” and “filling” rarely go together when describing food, but with our tasty cold pasta salad—filled with olives, cauliflower, bell peppers, and more—you can have the best of both worlds.

38. Vegan Chicken Nuggets

These vegan chicken nuggets made of textured vegetable protein (TVP) and vital wheat gluten are super-tasty—and of course infinitely better for you than the real thing. Happy dipping!
