33 Fresh Super Bowl Recipes
Updated by Kathryne Taylor on December 11, 2024
Are you ready for the Super Bowl? While Iโm usually just in it for the snacks, our home team is playing this weekend! Weโll be cheering for the Chiefs from Kansas City.
Iโve rounded up thirty-three of my best game day recipes for you. True to form, theyโre all fresh and vegetarian. You could call many of these recipes healthy, or healthier than the usual Super Bowl snacks. Above all, theyโre delicious and will make for a memorable evening at home.
Iโve 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!
Appetizers & Dips
1) Ultra Crispy Baked Potato Wedges
Gluten free and vegan
โI made these once! Then made them 3 more times! Delish! How did I never learn how to make THE best ever baked fries? We had given up potatoes. What a treat, and so easy!โ โ Kathleen
2) Creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip
Gluten free
โI am in love with this dip. I needed something fun to make for new yearโs eve so naturally I came to Cookie & Kate for ideas. Can I just say this dip was A HUGE HIT! Making it was super simple as well; it is deliciously creamy and absolutely divine spread on a fresh piece of french baguette. Will be adding this to my lists of make-again recipes!โ โ Marda
3) Esquites (Mexican Street Corn Salad)
Make it with frozen corn! Gluten free and potentially dairy free/vegan
โMade this last night along with a taco dinner and it was absolutely deliciousโฆso good that I had the leftovers for breakfast :). Super easy to make and very flavorfulโ โ Taylor
4) Buffalo Brussels Sprouts
Gluten free and easily vegan
โSaw this recipe today and realized we had all the ingredients sitting in the fridge. Made it, devoured it (amazing!) and will be making it over and over again this weekend. Comfort food that puts a smile on your face in the dead of winter! Perfect veggie Super Bowl snack as well.โ โ Matt
5) Creamy Vegan Queso
Gluten free and vegan
โLove, 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 Iโd stop eating it. I am not a big fan of nutritional yeast, but I could barely taste it. I made it mild so my toddlers could enjoy it and they did for sure! Iโm looking forward to the leftovers. Definitely recommend this recipe.โ โ Hannah
6) The Best Guacamole
Gluten free and vegan
โYum! I just made your guacamole and now there is a fiesta happening in my mouth. Delicious! Thank you for the great recipe; its a keeper!โ โ Yulia
7) Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Gluten free and vegan
โI love this recipe so much. First time in my life successfully making crunchy sweet potato fries in the oven. Thank you so much!!! The detail and precision really helped. I truly appreciate this recipe. Thank you :)โ โ Vanessa
8) Loaded Veggie Nachos
Gluten free
โWe love this recipe. I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner this Friday, the start of the baseball American League Division Series. He replied โthe food of victoryโ. So this is what heโs getting. :-)โ โ Kathryn
9) The Best Hummus
Gluten free and vegan
โIโve been chasing a creamy, rich, restaurant-quality hummus and this without a doubt nails it. I followed this recipe exactly and it produced the creamiest humus with a delicious depth of flavor. I will be making this weekly, as my family (including my 4 year old) can not eat it fast enough.โ โ Christy
10) Perfect Stovetop Popcorn
Gluten free and vegan
โTried this for the first time tonight. It was absolutely amazing! Your instructions are perfect. Much better flavor than air popped. Thank you!โ โ Chelsea
11) Pimento Cheese
Gluten free
โOmggggg. My husband went to The Masters practice round several years ago and ate SO many pimento cheese sandwiches, and ever since has been trying to recreate the magic of Augusta pimento cheese sandwiches with store bought versions. I made this recipe and he said itโs the closest heโs come to finding the magic Augusta pimento cheese!!! Definitely a household staple now and will be on my list of easy party recipes.โ โ Jen
12) Baked Jalapeรฑo Poppers
Gluten free
โI made these twice already. First with jalapeรฑos and the second time with mild mini peppers since the jalapeรฑos were a tad to spicy for me (but my hubby didnโt think so). Really, really good. The kettle chips were a great addition!โ โ Carrie
13) Buffalo Cauliflower with Blue Cheese Dip or Ranch
Gluten free and easily vegan
โIโve made this a few times. Delicious! It beats ordering them at a restaurant for sure! My favorite thing about this recipe is my husband uses the exact same sauce ratio for his wings making it an easy meal in this vegetarian vs meat household!! Last night, we made Buffalo cauliflower/chicken wraps.โ โ Audra

14) Homemade Vegetarian Chili

โI make this all the time. I love itโs rich flavor and perfect consistency. Vegetable forward without being a hammer about it. Feeds everyone for a week!โ โ Lori
15) Favorite Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Possibly gluten free
โThis was so good! Sometimes I get cravings for grilled cheese, and I always end up disappointed. So this time I decided to search out a recipe that would give it a bit more flavor. This is exactly what I was looking for. Had it with some dill pickles on the side = perfection.โ โ Cat
16) Classic Tomato Soup (Lightened Up!)
Gluten free
โIโve made this soup about 15 times now. Itโs my go to dinner or lunch with a grilled cheese. The family loves it. So does my workโฆ.my boss tasted it and so far has had me make 2 batches for her. Itโs soooo good!โ โ Esther
17) Ultimate Veggie Pizza
Vegetarian
โMade this tonight! Your crust is a little chewy and crispy which is perfect! Love that it has whole wheat flour. Your pizza sauce is out of this world so good! Love how easy it is to put together! Love all the veggie toppings and adding the spinach first is genius!โ โ Amy
18) Fresh Black Bean Burrito Bowl
Gluten free and easily vegan (skip the cheese)
โThis dish was worth every single minute of the prep work and cooking time! Every component was absolutely delicious. It surpasses any similar recipe Iโve ever tried in a restaurant, Amazing flavor and a bit hit with all. I have yet to find a recipe of yours that isnโt wonderful!!โ โ Donna
19) Best Lentil Soup
Gluten free and vegan
โOver the past 50+ years, Iโve made a lot of lentil soups and you are right, this is the best! While giving it a few taste tests during the prep, I thought it would be too spicy, but the finished product was wonderful! It is a perfect winter soup. Thank you!โ โ Jeanne
20) Spinach Artichoke Enchiladas
Vegetarian
โSo I made these Sunday. We ate them Sunday and Monday night. It is now Tuesday morning and all I can think about is MORE SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE ENCHILADAS! These were by far best enchiladas I ever made! We thank you!โ โ Cindy
21) Favorite Veggie Burgers
Gluten free and vegan (pending accompaniments)
โI made these tonight, and they were excellent! Best veggie burgers Iโve ever had, either at home or out. Great texture, they hold together well, etc.Iโll be making them again.โ โ Bonnie
22) Spicy Black Bean Soup

23) Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers
Gluten free and easily vegan
โI made these last night for supper and they were really enjoyed by both my husband and I. Very delicious. Very flavorful. We topped our with just a bit of sour cream. We will make again for sure. Cannot wait to make them for guests. Your recipes never disappoint!โ โ Laverne
24) Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
โJust made this and followed the recipe exactly as written. SOOOO creamy and DELICIOUS! PERFECTโ โ Nadine
25) Simple Healthy Slaw

A Few Desserts & Treats
26) Monster Cookies
Gluten free
โThese were a hit with a very diverse group of folks! They were really easy to make and made a TON of cookies. I ended up refrigerating the dough for a day to finish baking the cookies later and those turned out just like the first batches.โ โ Ann
27) Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Bars
Gluten free and easily vegan
โThese are amazing! This will be one of my favorite go-to quick dessert bars! I used half honey/maple syrup and found the brown rice crispy cereal at Sprouts. I love itโs a yummy sweet made with healthier ingredients. Thank you!โ โ Angelia
28) Simple Gluten-Free Apple Crisp
Gluten free and easily vegan
โIโve made this apple crisp several times, using the water/bourbon combo and maple syrup. It is so delicious that Iโm even giving it as gifts to family this holiday season (prepared while properly masked and delivered from a two-meter distance!). Of course thereโll be an extra batch for my home.โ โ N.
Drinks!
29) Ranch Water Cocktail
โThanks for this recipe Kate! This is my go-to drink leading into summer (I live in Sydney, Australia). It is so refreshing & delicious. I also use a Sodastream for my bubbly.โ โ Tiff
30) The New Old Fashioned Cocktail
โI love an old fashion during the winter months. As it happened I just bought some Four Roses! I am sipping your version and I have to say, It is so smooth!!! Love it.โ โ Marsha
31) Classic Moscow Mule
โBest drink Iโve had in a long time. Used your recommendation and my mule turned out fantastic I loved it. Fever tree ginger beer and Titoโs vodka make for a winner in my bar. Thank youโ โ Doris
32) Fresh Mezcalitas
โSimple, yummy mezcal cocktail! I was craving a little pick-me-up with ingredients I usually have on-hand and this hit the spot. I didnโt use a shaker, worked well straight in the glass.โ โ Marina
33) Classic Hot Toddy
โThis classic hot toddy is really delicious! I didnโt think Iโd like it because I donโt like whiskey, but I LOVED it! Itโs so good, very light, and just makes you feel warm and cozy. Definitely going to make another one!โ โ Joy

Beautiful! If all Super Bowl parties looked like this I might become a football fan! :)
Or you could be a Puppy Bowl fan like me!!! But that doesnโt mean you still canโt make all these yummy recipes. Plusโฆโฆlast year ordering a pizza took over 2 hours and it was yucky.
My mouth is watering looking at these recipes! The only trouble Iโm going to have now is deciding which one to try first!! I love your recipes Kate โ and just so you know I tend to find food blogs really annoying but I like how you get to the point and give us the recipes without overdoing the pictures or word count. Thereโs nothing worse than looking for a recipe and having to read an essay before you get to it. Clearly you have a talent and passion for vegetarian food. Thanks for sharing!
I completely agree!
That sparkling sangria!!! I donโt think Iโve ever seen a drink that sounds that good. All of these look delicious. Thanks, Kate (and Cookie (: )!
These are the types of food I want to eat for a football game- bright and vibrant, indulgent and healthy, and with a healthy helping of spice. Iโm eyeing those cauliflower tacos in particular.
They all look soooo good. Go team! *eats all the snacks* ;)
Great recipe roundup! Both drink recipes look amazing!
What, no stadium made of out of skweeze cheese and pretzels? If I saw those poblano fajitas at a party, Iโd be one happy lady (who hopes the NFL will do more about brain injuries).
All of these look amazing! I love the sound of that Kale Pesto Pizza, yum!
Uh, I could eat ALL of these in one sitting!! Ok, maybe not but I sure do want to
These are some great alternatives to the highly processed treats that I normally see!
These are lovely recipes, Kate! Thanks for sharing!:)
I have plans to making a couple of these for Sunday.
Iโm making your Mango Salsa for my Super Bowl party! And Iโm ridiculously excited about it!
Excited to try some of these with my family soon! Thanks for sharing :)
I am just starting to become a vegetarian so this looks so yummy for me to make as part of my lunch everyday!
Thanks for sharing!
I want to try it.
Let me know what you thinK!
The vegan chipotle carrot queso was spot on tastebud magic. Thanks for sharing. #SuperBowlLIV

Hi Carol! Is this the recipe you are looking for?
You make veggie cooking easy. Thank you!!
Youโre welcome, Rita! Tank you for your review.
Really nice recipes!
Kate,
So sorry for your loss! My heart breaks hearing of Cookie!
I am a doggy mom as well and I cannot imagine my life without my poodle, Bear.
I have had him for 13 years and I see his body giving to age. So I cling to every precious moment J have with him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Much love
I love your recipes. I am gluten and dairy free but can usually adapt the the recipes. I hope you will continue to produce your healthy recipes.
