Elegant & Seasonal Appetizers For Fall Events

Fall is that wonderful time of year when the leaves begin to change color from green to shades of yellow, red and orange and crisp autumn scents fill the air- because fall season has the best sights, sounds and smells.

People from different cultures celebrate the changing of the seasons, the plentiful yields of their fields and loved ones with seasonal foods, fun festivities and joyous thanksgiving!

Depending on which part of the USA you are in, there are some very unique festivals native to that state. Besides Halloween, some of the more popular ones are the National Apple Harvest Festival, Balloon Festival, German Village Oktoberfest, Wellfleet OysterFest and Harvest on the Harbor.

We’ve put together a selection of simple yet delicious party appetizers, now that it’s time to host that fall party to celebrate the cooler weather. Bite-sized, easy to handle and serve, what’s best is that most of them can be made ahead of time and frozen. Just bake, fry or grill depending on what the recipe calls for and you are good to go!

Potato wrapped shrimp

POTATO WRAPPED SHRIMP - Guaranteed to have your guests relish it with their eyes as well as their taste buds, this appetizer is elegant and rustic at the same time. The shrimp is entwined with long strings of raw russet potato (a spiralizer can turn vegetables into thin spaghetti strands) and deep fried. Serve them hot with lemon wedges and a sweet chili dipping sauce for that mild, spicy uplift.

Quinoa & zucchini fritter



QUINOA AND ZUCCHINI FRITTER - This super quick and super healthy appetizer combines the goodness of quinoa & zucchini along with crumbled pine nuts, feta cheese, lemon juice, fresh parsley and dill. Serve it up with yogurt, sour cream or plain - it’s nutrition-packed, vegetarian and gluten free and will surely change the way your guests look at gluten free food, for sure!

Wagyu Burger with American Cheese



WAGYU BURGER WITH AMERICAN CHEESE - An ideal fall party appetizer to gratify adults and children alike, the Wagyu beef makes these tiny burgers a show stopper. Tender and succulent Wagyu beef patty layered with sautéed onions and American cheese, placed on a traditional bun. Serve it with some relish for that added flavor.

Boursin & Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms


BOURSIN & SPINACH STUFFED MUSHROOM - Tender mushroom stuffed with deliciously creamy Boursin cheese and spinach, flavored with garlic and topped with parmesan and panko crumbs.

Chicken Dijon Puff



CHICKEN DIJON PUFF - These flaky and beautifully buttery mini puffs are gobble worthy. A simple filling of tender chicken pieces coated with honey-dijon mustard, layered into a puff pastry, coated with poppy seeds and baked to perfection. You can alter the size and shape according to your requirement, but these small round shaped ones are pretty, dainty, easy to handle and easy to serve. You can make this ahead and freeze it. Bake them on the day you need to serve them hot and fresh straight from the oven.

Grilled Steak Fajita with Bell Peppers & Onions



GRILLED STEAK FAJITA WITH BELL PEPPERS & ONIONS - These insanely flavorful soft tortillas are filled with grilled steak, julienned bell peppers and onions, shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh cilantro.

A quick squeeze of lime and you are in fajita heaven!
