How to Make a Winning Vegan Menu on Super Bowl Sunday
Super Bowl Sunday is all about the snacks (for some of us, at least!) Whether you're dreaming of delicious dip recipes, spicy chicken wings or stuffed sandwiches, there are so many fun and creative Super Bowl recipes to try. But as you prepare your game day menu, you'll also want to consider the dietary needs of everyone sitting around your TV. If one of your fellow revelers is plant-based — or if you are yourself — it's important to include some vegan Super Bowl recipes. Fortunately, there are tons of meat- and dairy-free options to choose from, and many of them taste just as delicious as their non-vegan counterparts (seriously, just wait until you try our ultra-creamy vegan nacho sauce!)
Ahead, we've found the best vegan recipes you can serve to a crowd, including dairy-free dips, crispy potatoes, and all kinds of tacos. From apps and snacks to main dishes and desserts, we've got you covered. These meatless recipes will satisfy not only the plant-based eaters in your life, but all the other guests at your game day gathering as well. What's more, many of these recipes boast nutritional benefits in addition to their tasty flavor profile. That tray of sweet potato chips only counts as an extra serving of vegetables, right? Plus, plenty of plant-based proteins are high in gut-friendly fiber (hello, chickpeas) that'll fill you up. For more meatless inspiration, don't miss our favorite vegetarian Super Bowl recipes.
