Get the Party Started with Vegan and Allergy-Safe Super Bowl Snacks

One pleasure of the Super Bowl that nobody can deny is the junk food! You don’t have to be a football fan to enjoy a good Super Bowl party when the food is tasty. And let’s face it, this is one day of the year when you have the perfect excuse to indulge in a little too much excess. However, you don’t have to go totally overboard. You can enjoy lots of indulgent snacks minus some of the fat-laden and unhealthy ingredients commonly found in football grub, without compromising on taste. Also, if you are catering to vegans or those with food allergies at your Super Bowl party, these delectable, fun snacks are ones that everyone can enjoy.

Chow Down on Field Roast Mini Corn Dogs

Field Roast

Finger foods are a staple of every Super Bowl gathering and they don’t get any easier to prepare than Field Roast Miniature Corn Dogs. Pop them in the microwave briefly or put them in the oven for 20 minutes, and they’re ready to serve. They’re made of delectable Field Roast frankfurters in a traditional sweet cornbread batter. If you don’t tell party guests that these corn dogs are vegan, they’ll never suspect a thing.

Create a Varied Cheese Tray with Miyoko’s Vegan Cheeses

Finally, if you want to prepare some snacks from scratch, don’t be afraid to experiment with some vegan recipes for the Super Bowl, like Black-Eyed Pea Vegan Burgers and Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies. Just keep in mind that vegans don’t consume any animal products, not even honey. And when it comes to preparing dishes for people with food allergies, it’s always best to have too much information than too little.
