The Super Bowl is coming up this weekend, and you know what that means… FOOD!!
I’m a big football fan anyways, but I’ll take just about any excuse to enjoy good food. And football food doesn’t have to equate to greasy, fried grub. Why not whip up delicious food that both your tastebuds and your waistline can feel good about?
Today’s post features a dozen crowd-pleasing recipes. From Mediterranean hummus dip and broccoli pizza pockets to sweet tooth options like vegan cinnamon sugar pretzels, there’s something for everyone in this round up of healthy Super Bowl recipes.

Mini Pretzel Twists with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce.
Just about everyone adores hot pretzels.. and mini pretzel twists? Even better in my book!
This mini pretzel twist recipe is always a crowd pleaser, and people always love a simple honey mustard sauce for dipping.
Mediterranean Feta & Lemon Hummus Dip.
Dips are perfect for sports watching, and this Mediterranean Feta & Lemon Hummus Dip will satisfy that salty dip craving while also packing in the produce (chickpeas and cherry tomatoes and artichoke hearts, oh yes!).
Crispy Truffle Fries.
I dig truffle anything and have a hard time ever passing on truffle fries when I see them on the menu. I was inspired to create an at-home baked version for this Super Bowl for Shape since most of us will be watching the game at home this year (well, hopefully).
Topped with truffle oil, grated Parmesan cheese, chives, and a sprinkle of truffle salt, this truffle fries recipe packs a serious punch of flavor. I also include an optional easy lime Greek yogurt dipping sauce recipe.
White Broccoli Pizza Pockets.
Ever eat those microwaveable cheesy pizza pockets as a teenager? These white broccoli pizza pockets are like an adult version of those. They sneak in some greens and whole grains, and at 300 calories a pop, these pizza pockets make it easier to keep your portions in check.
Quinoa Veggie Sliders with Lemon Tahini Sauce.
Sliders are the ultimate sports watching food, and this quinoa burger recipe features nutritious quinoa, chickpeas and baby spinach. It also includes a lemon tahini sauce to top your burgers with, and I suggest also including sliced avocado and tomato for that perfect flavorful bite.
Lightened Up Spinach & Artichoke Dip.
Spinach & artichoke dip is one of my favorite kinds of dip, and I’ve made this lightened up version more times than I can count. Pair it with whole grain tortilla chips, pita bread, and sliced veggies for a great appetizer.

Into sweet pretzels instead of savory? Make these vegan cinnamon sugar pretzels with cream cheese dip. They’re SO good!
Chocolate Cashew Butter Fruit Dip.
Made with just 6 ingredients, this cashew butter fruit dip is the perfect healthy sweet thing to whip up fast and enjoy during the game (or any day really!). Pair this vegan, refined sugar free dip with all of your favorite fruits, such as berries, banana and apple slices.
Caramel Apple Dessert Pizza.
If you want to try making something unique that your loved ones probably haven’t tried before, whip up my healthy caramel apple dessert pizza recipe. It features fresh apples, an oat crumble, and almond butter + maple syrup sauce atop a homemade pizza crust.

Ah – this is a great collection of gameday treats, Nicole! I’m with you on the truffle fries. I absolutely love ’em, but you don’t see them very often. (That’s why I always order them when they show up on a menu – well, back when we went out to restaurants. Haha!) I also love that you included some sweet bites on your Super Bowl appetizer table. Looks like your house will be the place to watch the game this year!!

Haha I know right – back when going to restaurants was a regular thing!
You know what else I’m like that with? Fried zucchini… If I see it on a menu, I simply must order it!
