7 Vegan Finger Food Recipes

When folks imagine vegan appetizers, they probably picture a spread of raw veggies with a vinaigrette for dipping. While crudités certainly have their place in a party spread, you can also put together vegan appetizers with a lot more flavor and variety. Here are some recipe ideas for cruelty-free finger foods your guests will love, whether they eat animal products or not!

1. Savory Hot Pockets

Alex of Cute and Delicious made these little, savory pastries using Thanksgiving leftovers to fill, but you could use all sorts of vegan fillings! Try sauteed greens with white beans; mashed sweet potato or butternut squash with olive oil, almond milk, and a touch of organic maple syrup; or minced, roasted root veggies. For a sweet take, you can fill them up with your favorite jam or preserves!

2. Autumn Spiced Popcorn

I love Manifest Vegan’s seasonal twist on a party favorite! She spices her popcorn with nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. You can also season popcorn with nutritional yeast to give it a delicious, cheesy flavor without a drop of dairy in sight.

3. Green Chile Hummus

Hummus is a vegan staple, and The Vegan Lazy Smurf gives it a tasty southwestern twist! I know I just knocked on raw veggies, but they’d be great for dunking into this decadent dip. You could also serve with toasted pita triangles.

4. Spring Rolls

Over at the Fat Free Vegan, Susan has a mouth-watering recipe for spring rolls. I’ve seen this style of roll in a rice paper wrapper also called a summer roll. No matter what you call it, it’s delicious!
