10 Healthy Super Bowl Party Recipes

Appetizers

Tomato Pesto Hummus

Try this rich, easy, creamy dip or spread with pita halves, crackers, or veggies. Packed with the nutrition and flavor power of tomatoes, you can whip up this 100% plant-based (vegan), gluten-free hummus recipe in seconds—relying mostly on shelf-stable, economical staples, such as canned tomatoes and chickpeas.

Mississippi Caviar 

I’m sharing one of my mother’s favorite appetizer recipes for Super Bowl—Mississippi Caviar. This hearty, bean-based dip is just perfect for serving with chips, veggie-burgers, or flatbread. Plus it’s just so darn pretty!

Healthy Buffalo Cauliflower with Ranch Dip 

If you love the buffalo cauliflower trend as much as I do, you’ll just fall head over heels for this easy, light recipe. It is an addictive appetizer or side-dish for your party table, and perfect served with this Vegan Ranch Dip too.

Radish White Bean Toasts 

Creamy white beans pair so well with crisp, spicy radishes in these simple open-face radish and white bean toasts. Try making your own easy bean dip for these appetizer sandwiches, which is as easy as one, two, three when you have a food processor or blender.

Entrees

Black Bean Corn Chili

I love a good hearty chili for Super bowl. You can make this recipe for Black Bean Corn Chili in a crockpot, and then just let people serve it up straight out of the pot—set it on low to keep it warm. Just pair this chili with a salad and a serving of rustic whole grain bread, corn tortillas, or my cornbread, and you have a delicious easy dish planned for your party. I love to garnish this recipe with a handful of fresh cilantro and green onions. Or, let your guests sprinkle it with plant-based cheese, avocado slices, Vegan Sour Cream, and tortilla strips for an amazing party entrée.

Southwest Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie

Make this hearty, vegan sweet potato shepherd’s pie the day before your game party to get a head start. This one-dish entrée features rich sweet potatoes as the topping over a plant-based filling of black beans, peas, corn, and carrots with a Southwest spice profile in this vegan shepherd’s pie recipe. Yum!

Vegan Rainbow Veggie Pizza with Cornmeal Crust 

Color is all the rage in food…so why not in a pizza? Especially if it’s packed with colorful, nutrient-rich veggies in every shade of the rainbow. I give you my masterpiece: a cornmeal-crust crispy pizza shell, slathered with tomato marinara, and topped with zucchini, yellow summer squash, orange bell peppers, and red onions—with a generous sprinkling of fresh herbs and pinenuts. It’s as yummy as it is pretty. For your party, you can slice it in thin strips or even squares to provide smaller portions. 

Chipotle Black Bean Quinoa Veggie Burgers 

Hand-made veggie burgers are one of my favorite go-to party meals. These simple, flavorful Chipotle Black Bean Quinoa Veggie Burgers are vegan and can be whipped up in a jiffy. Just mix up the veggie burger batter, shape into burgers, and bake on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, and serve them when they are browned and cooked through. Serve the burgers with a whole grain bun, avocado and tomato slices, dark green leaves, and condiments, like Vegan Ranch Dressing, or ketchup.

Desserts

Vegan Cowboy Cookies

Game day wouldn’t be complete without some treats, such as these retro Cowboy Cookies, which are crunchy, vegan and packed with wholesome goodness by way of whole grains, dark chocolate, and nuts.

Tollhouse Pan Cookies 

These easy Tollhouse Pan Cookies are completely plant-based. Just pat the dough into a baking sheet and slice them into irregular squares for a simple, delicious treat. They’re super served warm fresh out of the oven!
