Healthy Vegetarian Super Bowl Snacks

Vegetable Nachos

Snacking is a must during the big game, but it doesn't have to mean unhealthy, greasy foods. Vegetable nachos are just as delicious as the traditional kind and you don't have to feel guilty about your choices either. Start with a layer of your favorite corn chips, followed by a layer of cooked lentils and black beans, and top with shredded cheese. Now, add the vegetables. You can use any combination you like - bell peppers, jalapenos, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, avocado, and red onions all work great. Finally, top with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, a drizzle of hot sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Delicious, healthy, and vegetarian-friendly.

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

These little bites of deliciousness are sure to be a hit with everyone, whether they're vegetarian or not. Start by cutting a head of cauliflower into small florets and tossing them in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil, some garlic powder, and a dash of salt and pepper. Spread the florets on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, take them out and toss them with a few tablespoons of your favorite buffalo sauce. Put them back in the oven for 10 minutes and they'll be ready to serve. Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for an easy, healthy, and delicious snack.

Veggie Burger Sliders

Veggie burgers are a great way to add some plant-based protein to your Super Bowl spread. Start by heating up your favorite veggie burgers in a skillet on the stove. While they're cooking, cut slider buns in half and lightly toast them in the oven. When the burgers are done, assemble the sliders and top with your favorite condiments - ketchup, mustard, relish, or even a spicy aioli. These mini sandwiches are sure to be a hit with everyone!

Cheesy Broccoli Dip

This cheesy dip is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, and it's so easy to make. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine one package of softened cream cheese, one cup of shredded cheese, one cup of cooked broccoli florets, and one tablespoon of garlic powder. Mix everything together well and transfer to an oven-safe dish. Top with more shredded cheese and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with your favorite chips or crackers for an easy and delicious snack.

Vegetarian Quesadillas

These quesadillas are a great way to add some plant-based protein to your Super Bowl spread. Start by heating up a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Then, add a tablespoon of olive oil and a few handfuls of your favorite vegetables - bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and spinach all work great. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Then, assemble the quesadillas by placing half of a tortilla in the skillet and topping it with the cooked vegetables and some shredded cheese. Top with the other half of the tortilla and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Cut into triangles and serve with salsa or guacamole.

Fruit Skewers

Fruit skewers are a great way to add some naturally sweet flavors to your Super Bowl spread. Start by cutting up your favorite fruits into bite-sized pieces - strawberries, pineapple, melon, grapes, and oranges all work great. Then, thread the fruit onto skewers and serve. You can even make a few different kinds with different fruits for a colorful presentation. Serve with a side of vanilla yogurt for dipping for a light and healthy option.
