    APPETIZERS + SNACKS

    These party appetizers will be a delicious hit at your next dinner gathering, baby shower or potluck!

    Serving Ideas

    Either serve appetizers as your guests arrive, or throw an appetizer party and arrange a bunch out on the table.

    Soup shooters are an easy appetizer, and a perfect make-ahead option. For example, serve Gazpacho Soup Shooters on a warm evening, or this silky Roasted Butternut Squash Soup in the autumn. A puréed Easy Mushroom Soup is a perfect little shooter when it's snowy outside.

    If you are looking for easy finger food appetizers for a party, you'll find lots of dips, bruschettas, salsas, and pickled veggies to choose from.

    But I've also got some heartier fare like Vegan Sloppy Joe Sliders and a Delicata Squash and Apple Galette. Oh, and there are several vegetable tarts for you to consider. This French Onion Tart is one of my favorites.

    Whichever way your preferences slide the next time you need an appetizer, you're sure to find something to love in this selection of crowd-pleaser favorites!
