Are you ready for the Super Bowl? While I’m usually just in it for the snacks, our home team is playing this weekend! We’ll be cheering for the Chiefs from Kansas City.

I’ve rounded up thirty-three of my best game day recipes for you. True to form, they’re all fresh and vegetarian. You could call many of these recipes healthy, or healthier than the usual Super Bowl snacks. Above all, they’re delicious and will make for a memorable evening at home.

I’ve organized the recipes by appetizers and dips, main dishes and sides, desserts, and cocktails. Be sure to bookmark this page for future game days. You can find even more options right here. May the best team win!

5) Creamy Vegan Queso

Gluten free and vegan

“Love, love, love. This was truly an incredible vegan queso recipe. Made it for taco night and I had to have my husband push it across the table so I’d stop eating it.

Definitely recommend this recipe.” – Hannah
