Our Best Super Bowl Food Ideas

Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

These cauliflower buffalo wings are saucy, spicy, and crisp around the edges. They’re addictive on their own (you’ve been warned!), but they’re also fantastic with vegan ranch dressing for dipping. They’re a fun veggie alternative to chicken wings. Even meat eaters will love them!

Best Guacamole

Is it really a Super Bowl party if there isn’t guac? This version is extra-zesty and fresh—everyone will ask for the recipe!

Jalapeño Popper Dip

This recipe is like an inside-out jalapeño popper. Roasted jalapeños and garlic add spicy, savory flavor to the creamy, tangy dip. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips!

Deviled Eggs

This classic finger food is a hit at any party, Super Bowl or otherwise. Get ahead by making the hard-boiled eggs up to 3 days in advance.

BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches

These saucy sliders are the perfect Super Bowl food! Prep the BBQ jackfruit up to 2 days in advance. On the day of the big game, keep it warm on the stove or in a slow cooker so that guests can assemble sandwiches when they’re ready to eat.

French Onion Dip

I’d throw a game day party just to have an excuse to make this dip! It’s rich, creamy, and packed with umami caramelized onions. Scoop it up with fresh veggies or ridged potato chips.

Favorite Veggie Pizza

Why order delivery when you can make an epic veggie pizza at home?! This one features a delicious combo of roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, red onion, and basil.

Easy Vegetarian Chili

Cook this easy chili a day or two ahead of time so that the smoky, spicy flavors have a chance to deepen in the fridge. When you serve it, set out toppings like sour cream, pickled jalapeños, pickled red onions, and/or shredded cheddar cheese so that guests can load up their bowls with all the fixings.

Jalapeño Cornbread

If you’re making chili, you need cornbread to go with it! Jalapeño peppers and cheddar cheese give this recipe an extra boost of flavor.

Tomatillo Salsa Verde

When it comes to Super Bowl snacks, you can’t go wrong with chips and salsa. Take this classic pairing to the next level by making the salsa yourself! I particularly love this salsa verde recipe. It’s bright, zesty, and easy to make.

Stuffed Mushrooms

These little appetizers pack a whole lotta flavor into a single bite. I fill the juicy, meaty mushroom caps with savory sun-dried tomatoes, fresh parsley, and salty pecorino cheese. Toasty pine nuts and panko breadcrumbs add the perfect amount of crunch.

Perfect Baked Potato

With crispy, salty skins and fluffy insides, these perfect baked potatoes will be a hit at any Super Bowl party! Serve them with a big dollop of vegan sour cream and smoky tempeh bacon bits.

Spinach Artichoke Dip

No list of Super Bowl food ideas would be complete without spinach artichoke dip. I sneak extra veggies into this version, blending cauliflower into the creamy base. It’s every bit as delicious as the classic!

Sweet Potato Fries

These crispy fries are easy to make in the oven! Serve them with ketchup, mustard, or chipotle sauce for dipping.

Ultimate Loaded Nachos

Even the biggest football fans will forget about the game when they see these loaded nachos. They’re layered with gooey vegan queso, tangy pickled onions, avocado, pico de gallo, and plant-based ground beef. They’ll be the star of your Super Bowl snack table!

Cowboy Caviar

Looking for make-ahead Super Bowl food ideas? This refreshing dip is for you. You can prep it up to a day in advance—the flavors only improve as they mix and mingle in the fridge.

Homemade Mac and Cheese

If you’re on the hunt for Super Bowl food ideas that can pass as dinner, make this homemade mac and cheese! Creamy, comforting, and supremely cheesy, this dish is a crowd-pleasing addition to a Super Bowl spread.

Garlic Knots

These easy garlic knots are soft, fluffy, and filled with rich, savory flavor. The whole batch will be gone before you know it!

Homemade Taquitos

Looking for Super Bowl food ideas that are just as fun to make as they are to eat? These crispy baked taquitos are for you! You’ll have a blast making the zesty jackfruit filling, tucking it into tortillas, and baking them until crisp.

Homemade Salsa

Another great homemade salsa recipe! This version is bright, refreshing, and ready in just 10 minutes. Store-bought can’t compare.

Best Bean Dip

This easy dip will be a standout in any spread of Super Bowl snacks! Top it with fresh garnishes like tomatoes, avocado, and sliced chiles to accent its smooth, creamy texture.

Crispy Smashed Potatoes

I love a potato moment on a Super Bowl snack table, and these smashed potatoes are tough to beat. They’re creamy in the middle, crisp around the edges, and packed with savory garlic flavor. Load them up with drizzles of chipotle sauce or sprinkles of Parmesan cheese!

Air Fryer Onion Rings

These air fryer onion rings will rival any you’ve had out to eat! They’re crispy, golden brown, and packed with addictive oniony flavor.

Tofu Sandwich

Tip: Turn this BBQ sando into sliders for a snack-able Super Bowl food idea!

Vegan Cheese Dip

No one will guess that this creamy queso dip is vegan! Even though it’s made with plant-based ingredients, it tastes just as “cheesy” as the real thing.

Chili Cheese Fries

The ultimate vegan Super Bowl food! These cheese-less cheese fries are loaded with smoky plant-based chili, fresh veggies, and my ooey gooey vegan cheese.

Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos

How do you turn Super Bowl snacks into an actual meal? Easy! Make tacos with buffalo cauliflower wings, fresh veggies, and loads of vegan ranch. This recipe is SO darn flavorful—you might want to add it to your regular dinner rotation!

Jalapeño Poppers

Jalapeño poppers check all the Super Bowl food boxes. They’re spicy, tangy, crispy, creamy, and finger-friendly to boot! In this lightened-up recipe, I make the creamy filling with Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese.

7-Layer Dip

When I was growing up, my mom’s 7-layer dip was my favorite Super Bowl snack. This recipe is a plant-based riff on hers, made with refried beans, guacamole, spiced-up quinoa, and loads of fresh veggies. Top it off with a drizzle of cashew cream, and serve with tortilla chips.

Baked Potato Wedges

These oven fries are very tasty on their own…but they’re also a fantastic vehicle for a variety of dipping sauces. Use them to shovel up ketchup, spicy mayo, or honey mustard dressing!

Avocado Fries

Who says you need potatoes to make yummy fries?! Serve these crispy-creamy snacks with chipotle ranch dressing for dipping.

Stovetop Popcorn

Great for watching movies, and equally great for watching football! I like to season it with melted butter, sea salt, and nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor.

Loaded Potato Skins

A fresher spin on the classic game day snack! These vegan potato skins are filled with a zesty bean and corn salad, sunflower sour cream, and crispy coconut bacon.

Homemade Soft Pretzels

Set out these soft, chewy homemade pretzels with spicy mustard or vegan cheese sauce for dipping.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Like your favorite chocolate chip cookies, but even easier to make! Soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate chips, they’ll be a Super Bowl hit.

Air Fryer Cauliflower Bites

These healthy cauliflower bites are crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and seasoned to perfection with garlic powder and smoked paprika. I love them with a squeeze of lemon juice and tartar sauce for dipping.

Veggie Quesadillas

Roasted sweet potatoes, poblanos, and black beans amp up the flavor in these simple veggie quesadillas. Serve them with a big squeeze of lime juice and fresh fixings like pickled onions, salsa, and guacamole.

Pico de Gallo

This easy homemade salsa is a great condiment for Super Bowl food ideas like tacos and nachos. It’s also delicious on its own! Scoop it up with tortilla chips for a bright, zesty snack.

Air Fryer French Fries

Just as crispy and delicious as regular French fries, but made with way less oil. Serve them with ketchup, mayo, or my creamy chipotle sauce for dipping.

Best Homemade Brownies

Forget football—these chewy, fudgy brownies will be the main event at any Super Bowl party. With crisp edges, crackly tops, and the richest chocolate flavor, they’re SO much better than the boxed mix!
