Spinach Dip Hot Bread

This gooey, cheesy appetizer is one of the most popular dishes at San Francisco's Mr. Digby's, and is perfect for watching the game. The toasty sliced sourdough boule is filled with buttery bechamel sauce and spinach, but the real star is the Calabrian chiles, which lend each bite a gentle kick of heat. Feel free to customize this depending on the bread you have on-hand; it works nicely with a baguette, too.

Caramelized Five-Onion Dip

A mix of five different alliums — shallots, scallions, and sweet, yellow, and red onions — upgrades this classic caramelized onion dip with layers of flavor. Taking the time to cook the onions low and slow concentrates their flavor, while adding scallions halfway through cooking keeps them just fresh enough to serve with chips, toasted bread, or vegetables like endive, steamed fingerling potatoes, and roasted Broccolini.

Barbecue-Spiced Potato Chips

The secret to these potato chips is in the pre-soak. Soaking the potatoes before frying rinses away excess sugar and starch that could cause the chips to burn; the vinegar helps break down pectin in the potatoes, resulting in ultra crispy chips.

Spicy Cashew-Lemongrass Snack Mix

This sweet and savory snack mix by chef Kris Yenbamroong of Night + Market is seriously delicious. Lime leaves and lemongrass bring citrusy flavor to the buttery cashews, toasted coconut, and crispy garlic. Frying each element individually ensures crunchy — not burned — components. Use a food processor to make quick work of the garlic.

Ultimate Loaded Chili-Topped Hot Dogs

Like any "loaded" situation, this hot dog is all about constructing your plate. Split-top buns allow you to hollow out the sides a bit, fitting extra toppings into each bite. A touch of sweetness in the chili balances out the salt from Corn Nuts and the hot dog, while the sharp bite of pickled jalapeños creates balance. Radishes and sour cream offer a welcome hit of freshness. The chili can easily be made ahead of time for quick assembly the day of.

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.
