10 game day snacks for football season

1. Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings

Game day wouldn’t be complete without wings. This buffalo wing recipe from Fufu’s Kitchen is packed with flavor thanks to a two-step seasoning process that involves coating the wings in a dry rub before drenching them in buffalo sauce.

2. Baked Jalapeno Poppers

These aren’t your freezer aisle jalapeno poppers. You can eat these with your pinky up. These vegetarian-friendly jalapeno poppers from Cookie and Kate are filled with herbed cream cheese and topped with a little golden cheddar to balance the spice of the pepper.

3. Queso Fundido

Queso fundido is the party appetizer that makes everyone want to grab seconds. This recipe from Chili Pepper Madness has a kick from the spicy chorizo and a little crunch from cooked poblano peppers and onions. Top it with homemade salsa and avocado, and serve it hot with your favorite chips.

4. Fried Pickles

If you need a vegan appetizer on the table that everyone will enjoy, try this corn chip fried pickle recipe from Turnip Vegan. Serving it with the homemade Louisiana hot sauce aioli is a must.

5. Spinach Artichoke Dip

Can a football watch party have too many dips? (The answer, obviously, is no.) This cheesy, creamy spinach artichoke dip from Robust Recipes is hiding a secret: It’s healthier than traditional recipes. White beans blended into the sauce and Greek yogurt to replace half of the cream cheese make this dip just as flavorful but a little lighter.

6. Healthy Vegan Onion Rings

These plant-based onion rings from From My Bowl are healthy enough that you can fill up your plate. Instead of frying in oil, this air-fryer recipe is oil-free and gets its crispiness from panko bread crumbs.

7. Homemade Mozzarella Sticks

If you’ve never made mozzarella sticks at home, you’re in for a treat. Frozen mozzarella sticks don’t compare. This recipe from Tip Hero is baked instead of fried, so you won’t need to deal with messy oil cleanup.

8. Mango Guacamole

Need more fresh produce at your game day party? This mango guacamole recipe from Maple & Thyme is a quick and easy way to add balance. The sweet mango makes this guacamole feel lighter and more refreshing.

9. Stuffed Mushrooms

These classic stuffed mushrooms from Simply Recipes are the perfect bite-size appetizer for football season. They’re vegetarian-friendly and easy to make vegan by skipping the Parmesan. You also can prepare them a day ahead and pop them in the oven before the game.

10. Cowboy Caviar

Cowboy caviar has been around for a long time, but it definitely had a viral moment in 2022. Loaded with fresh produce and beans, cowboy caviar is a versatile plant-based snack that can be eaten as a salad or with tortilla chips as a salsa. Try this recipe from Her Wholesome Kitchen, but feel free to add your own herbs or extra ingredients. There’s plenty of room to play around with this recipe.
