Good news: You don't have to let Super Bowl Sunday derail your healthy eating goals. The big game might be a time for indulging in a few buffalo chicken recipes or cheesy dips, but if you add some healthy Super Bowl recipes to the spread, you'll be able to enjoy snacking on your favorite Super Bowl recipes without the worry! It's all about moderation, after all.

In this roundup, you'll find plenty of healthy snacks and lightened-up versions of crispy finger foods that are made in an air fryer, cauliflower recipes, barbecue pork served over a salad, and tacos made with crunchy lettuce wraps. Along with the healthy air fryer recipes, we have plenty of healthy dips, plus a way to make baked tortilla chips! These healthy Super Bowl recipes are so delicious, even your family and watch party guests won't notice the difference.

Of course, it wouldn't be the Super Bowl without wings. Here, you'll find them baked and air fried instead of fried in oil. Or, skip the wings altogether and just make buffalo chicken meatballs instead. The best part about these healthy game day eats is that they're easy to make so you won't miss a second of the halftime show. There are 30-minute meals, healthy appetizers, and slow cooker chili recipes that make clean-up a breeze. Whichever healthy recipe you choose, just be sure to save some room for the Super Bowl desserts—and you'll feel like the real winner of the night.
