Some of the best Super Bowl recipes include hearty chili recipes, subs, buffalo chicken, and a pile of nachos. But if you or your friends don't eat meat (Ree Drummond only ate veggies once upon a time), you'll want to have some vegetarian Super Bowl recipes on the menu. After all, football's biggest night of the year just wouldn't be the same without those Super Bowl snacks. Making sure that everyone at the party has something to munch on will make you the ultimate game day host.

No one needs to miss out on the good stuff when you can load up on veggies, beans, and even a few Super Bowl dips. Looking for some meat-free versions of your favorite game day foods? Try the buffalo cauliflower bites or the mango habanero cauliflower wings. Both will deliver the crispy goodness of chicken wings in vegetarian form. Or opt for a hearty main course in the form of vegetarian dinner recipes, like Ree Drummond's favorite black bean burger, cauliflower steaks, eggplant lasagna roll-ups, or the pesto pizza baked potatoes.

Don't forget to serve up some satisfying finger foods like fried zucchini, spinach puffs, or vegetarian sheet pan nachos and everyone will feel like a winner! Whether you plan a whole menu of vegetarian Super Bowl recipes or just add a few of these dishes to your game day party, you'll be glad you thought to include these delicious veggie bites.
