5 Amazing Vegan Super Bowl Appetizers

Smoky White Bean Dip

This dip is a great way to introduce your kids, or your non-vegan friends and family, to the wonders of vegan food. It's packed with protein and can be served warm or cold. This versatile dip is easy to make and can be served as a healthy snack for kids at parties and get-togethers. It also makes an excellent appetizer for game day!

You can make this dip ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve it. Serve with crackers, chips or veggies—whatever floats your boat!

Roasted Garlic Hummus

Store-bought hummus is fine, but making your own is way better. If you have a food processor, it’s not hard to do at all—just throw some chickpeas in the bowl with tahini, olive oil and lemon juice (or vinegar), then mince up some garlic and add that in. That’s pretty much it! The trickiest part is getting the texture right: You want the hummus nice and creamy without having it come out too thick or too thin. If you don’t have a food processor, just mix everything together by hand instead of blending them together on high speed in your blender or food processor until smooth.

Garlic can be roasted before being added to the dip for extra flavor; simply combine sliced garlic cloves with olive oil, salt and pepper on a sheet tray for about 15 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown.

Pimento Cheese

Pimento cheese is an easy-to-make, vegan-friendly super bowl appetizer that is perfect for feeding a large crowd. This recipe calls for vegan mayonnaise, vegan cheddar cheese and pimentos. You could also use some tofu to make the recipe soy-free if you like. There are lots of brands on the market that make “vegan” versions of cheese because they feel it's important not to mislead people into thinking they're eating real dairy products when they dip into this delicious spread!

Easy Vegan Nacho Cheese Dip

If you're looking for an alternative to the usual vegan nacho cheese dip, this one is simple and delicious. Just blend cashews and water, add nutritional yeast to make it cheesy, then throw everything in a food processor until smooth. It's that easy!

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor that's hard to beat—and thanks to being packed with vitamins B12 and folic acid, it has some pretty amazing health benefits as well. You can buy nutritional yeast at most grocery stores or online; it's often referred to simply as "Vitamin Yeast."

Avocado Rolls

Avocados are a great choice for vegan appetizers because they're super easy to work with and even easier to find. Most grocery stores sell them year round, and they're usually very inexpensive. Avocado rolls can be made in minutes, so you can whip them up at the last minute if you need a quick appetizer for your party or gathering.

Avocados are also an excellent source of healthy fat, which is especially important during the wintertime when we tend to eat more processed foods that lack healthy fats like avocados do.

There’s really no reason to exclude delicious and appetizing vegan options from your Super Bowl menu, especially considering the variety of plant-based alternatives available today. We hope this list of delicious vegan versions of classic Super Bowl appetizers helps you find a plant-based alternative that will amaze even the most diehard meat lovers and cheese enthusiasts.
