Vegan Game Day Recipes

buffalo dip is the quintessential game day food, right? jackfruit replaces the chicken in the BEST way – most cannot tell the difference. this is a crowd pleaser, for sure.

skip the drive thru and assemble a bunch of these before the party, and bake them all at once or pop a few in the air fryer or skillet. or set up a DIY station for guests to make custom crunchwraps!

the tangy and mildly spiced heat of these cauliflower wings dipped into cool ranch is THE BEST combination! no surprise this is consistently a top recipe at spabettie.

the cheesy star of your charcuterie board is here! this tangy herby spread is great on a cracker or veggie dipper, or to top your chili or salad.

a quick and easy last minute addition to your snack spread: take that vegan Boursin and fill these sweet red peppers – a great combination of flavors in a one bite appetizer. 

habanero and mango take this guac to the next level! spicy sweet and creamy cool all at once, a super tasty taco topping or chip dip!

a unique change of pace in dips, and VERY popular! the traditional flavors of your favorite comfort food as a dip IS a great idea!

a cauliflower based cheese dip AND chorizo come together in a dip that has fooled many a meat eater! I love to serve this at parties and see the shock of "this is plant based?" every single time.

when I say this cheesy dip is so melty and stretchy, it is no exaggeration. the flavor is funky cheesy, and you should probably plan to make a double batch from the get go.

another dish that is always welcome at a game day party, these mushroom burgers are great with all of the classic toppings.

bright and fresh flavors and colors make this dip stand out on the game day food table. serve this pink dish with fresh veggies and crackers.
