45 Healthy Super Bowl Snack Recipes To Keep You Feeling Like A Winner On Game Day
Buffalo tempeh “wings” >>>> Buffalo chicken wings.

If you’re following a certain diet or trying to eat healthier, the Super Bowl (LIX is this February 9, 2025) can instill some serious FOMO. But fear not! Especially since the Super Bowl is as much about watching football (and the halftime show!) as it is about all the fun game day foods, we don’t believe you should skip out on any of the dips, nachos, or chicken wings. Luckily, we’ve got tons of healthier options so everyone can still indulge. Check out our list of 45 better-for-you Super Bowl snacks—they’re proof you don’t need to “fumble” your diet to have a good time on game day.
We know health looks different to different people, so we’ve included options for every diet, like keto, vegan, gluten-free, less-processed, and even low-oil. Looking for low-carb recipes? Try our keto taco cups, our pimento cheese-stuffed mini peppers, our bunless burger bites, or our keto sausage puffs. Not anti-carbs, just looking to add more veggies to your spread? Check out our air fryer loaded zucchini skins, our cowboy caviar, our crispy parmesan broccoli stem fries, and our fried Buffalo artichoke hearts. These options are also great to keep in mind for any plant-based football fans you might have in attendance, as are our chipotle vegan queso, our Buffalo tempeh “wings”, and our carrots in a blanket.
The thing to remember is it’s all about diversity and making sure you and your guests ALL feel like they’ve got something delicious to look forward to celebrating with if their team is winning (or drowning their sorrows in if their team is losing). After all, they say variety is the spice of life, and if there was ever a holiday to get extra spicy, it’s the Super Bowl. 😉

Cowboy Caviar
Some call it Cowboy Caviar; others call it Texas Caviar. Different names, same idea, and lots of variations—we love ours for how delicious and health-supportive it is. Black-eyed peas contain vitamin K, black beans aid in lowering blood pressure, and avocados contain omega-3 fatty acids. 😍
Get the Cowboy Caviar recipe.

Best Guacamole
We’re obviously huge fans of a mix-in moment, but for this recipe, we prefer to keep it simple to really let the star of the show—avocados—shine. Make this as is for a simple, staple dip you can return to again and again.
Get the Best Guacamole recipe.


Fried Buffalo Artichoke Hearts
We bet you’ve heard of Buffalo wings made from cauliflower or tempeh, but what about artichokes? 😍


Pimento Cheese-Stuffed Mini Peppers
Stuffed mini peppers (especially cheesy ones) are such an easy appetizer to throw together and are always a crowd-pleaser. These are a really good vegetarian alternative to a jalapeño popper, so everyone can enjoy them at your game day or party spread. Mini peppers are sweet, so you don’t have to worry about the random super-hot jalapeño popping up.

Bacon Guac Bombs
Bacon + guacamole = our ideal combo always. Put them in bite-sized form like these in these snack bombs, and we truly can’t get enough. Homemade guacamole is rolled into pieces of bacon in these keto-friendly bites that are perfect for snacking on throughout the day.

Tofu Nuggets
Soggy baked tofu nuggets are a thing of the past with this one-ingredient upgrade.

These bites are perfect if you’re looking for an easy, nostalgic vegetarian dinner, or want a game-day meal that will keep your guests coming back for more.

Veggie Peel Chips
Food is expensive these days, and there’s no reason to waste good-for-you and tasty vegetable peels that often get discarded. Instead, turn them into a crispy snack everyone will love. Serve as is or alongside a tasty dip, like our caramelized onion dip, ranch, or queso!
Get the Veggie Peel Chips recipe.

Cool Ranch Zucchini Chips
How thinly you slice your zucchini will affect how long these flavorful chips will take in the oven. We recommend checking on the chips after about an hour, though it’ll almost definitely take longer than that. Better safe than sorry for this delicious snack!
Get the Cool Ranch Zucchini Chips recipe.

Crispy Hot Honey Cauliflower Nuggets
If chicken nuggets with honey mustard were your childhood fave, prepare to meet your new obsession. Coated with toasty bread crumbs and drizzled in a ridiculously craveable hot honey sauce, these crispy cauliflower nuggets are reinventing that childhood snack into a sweet and spicy sensation.

Burger King Chicken Fries
Skip the drive-through this year and make your own fast food favorites, like these chicken fries. Burger King may have their secret formula to crispy chicken finger perfection, but we think these are pretty worthy of stardom too.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bark
The ingredients for this quick dessert are right there in the name! A layer of bananas gets covered in smooth, unsweetened peanut butter, then drizzled with melted chocolate and frozen until stiff enough to snap into single servings. Hot tip: the flaky sea salt is optional but a remarkably delicious upgrade if you have it on hand.

Tempeh Buffalo “Wings”
Quicker to make and easier to eat than Buffalo chicken wings, this plant-based version swaps chicken for snackable triangles of tempeh to mimic the crowd-pleasing game day appetizer.

Get the Chipotle Vegan Queso recipe.

Keto Taquitos
Typically, taquitos are made by rolling a variety of fillings tightly in a corn tortilla before deep frying. They’re good. Like, REALLY good. Unfortunately, they’re not keto, so we got creative and replaced the tortilla with something that is: cheese!
Get the Keto Taquitos recipe.

Shrimp Tostada Bites
If you want to make things easy on yourself, use store-bought guac to fill these adorable little shrimp appetizers, but we gotta warn you—homemade guacamole is ALWAYS better.
Get the Shrimp Tostada Bites recipe.

We love the ease of chips and salsa, but sometimes it’s fun to try something slightly new? If salsa verde and hummus had a child, it would remind us of this Yucatecan-inspired dip featuring pepitas and charred tomatillos. Trust us, its subtle smokiness will keep you coming back for more.

Empanadas Sin Carne
Empanadas are a party fave, but they usually have meat in them—not so great if you’re a vegetarian or are trying to eat more plant-based. Enter these empanadas sin carne that everyone can enjoy. Try them with our vegan ground beef (made with tofu!) if you really want to keep things homemade.
Get the Empanadas Sin Carne recipe.

Keto Sausage Puffs

Spinach Artichoke Zucchini Bites
These little guys are the perfect healthy Super Bowl appetizer. As the zucchini becomes tender, the spinach and artichoke topping gets nice and melty. If you want a little extra color on your bites, switch the oven to broil on medium and cook them a couple minutes more. (Just keep an eye on them.)

BLT Cups
These lighter BLTs skip the bread and put major emphasis on the bacon—which is what we all really want, right? We replaced the mayo with Greek yogurt to help make these lighter as well, but you can use the traditional mayonnaise or even sour cream if you prefer.
Get the BLT Cups recipe.

Keto Tortilla Chips
With only two foundational ingredients, these keto-friendly chips are so easy to make! We seasoned ours with chili and garlic powder, but you can keep it simple with salt and pepper, or use any of your favorite seasonings.

Keto Taco Cups
Taco shells made out of cheese = the ultimate keto hack. Are these authentic? Not really, but if you’re a fan of Tex-Mex ground beef tacos and are trying to follow a low-carb diet, these are a fun game day option.
Get the Keto Taco Cups recipe.

Oven-Fried Pickles
It’s no secret that Delish is obsessed with crazy pickle recipes. One of our all-time favorites: fried pickles, so we came up with a healthier, baked alternative that we can eat with reckless abandon this Super Bowl Sunday. The crunch is unreal.
Get the Oven-Fried Pickles recipe.

Carrots In A Blanket
We know, we know, baby carrots might never replace actual cocktail weenies. For vegetarians, though, they’re a great option. Let the carrots marinate for at least a half an hour so they can really soak in that smoky salty flavor.
