Tips For Pulling Together A Party Appetizer Spread

  • Variety is the spice of life: Especially for a large gathering as it’s important to cater to various dietary needs and flavors, so there’s something for everyone. All in all, create a mix of colors, textures, and temperatures.
  • Meal prep is your friend: Many of the easy vegan appetizers below can be prepared partially (or entirely) in advance. Henceforth, meaning less stress on ‘the day of.’
  • Two hands are better than one: Want to take some of the pressure off yourself? Why not celebrate potluck style?! For example, prepare a list of recipes for guests to choose from. Alternatively, allow it to be a surprise (a theme can help, though!)
  • Read the room: There’s a time and a place for vegan buffalo wings, and it’s not (usually) a fancy, exclusive soiree. All in all, match the appetizers to the event for a successful evening.
  • Don’t forget the ‘tools’: If you’re serving lots of dips, make sure there are plenty of tools for dipping. Have bread and vegan butter? Ultimately, make sure there are several knives, serving plates, etc.

Platters and Boards

An easy way to cater to many events and tastes is with a charcuterie board/ appetizer platter. With a combination of dips, nibbles, and other bits and pieces, there’s something for everyone. Plus, it’s really easy to adapt them to theme, event, holiday, and more!

Vegan Charcuterie Board
