Mouthwatering Vegan Appetizers So Good They Might Convince You To Convert

Catering to different diet preferences of all of your guests is not always the easiest of tasks, which is why we have come up with a list of some of our favorite simple vegan appetizers for every need. Whether you are vegan or have friends over that are, these easy vegan appetizers will ensure your guests don’t miss out on delicious food. You can choose an assortment of different flavors to match everyone’s palate or pick a few of your favorites to serve along with other food options.

Caponata Phyllo Star

Our caponata phyllo stars blend flavors of eggplant, pignoli nuts, peppers, and roasted tomatoes in a star made of phyllo pastry to create a delicious treat for vegans and non-vegans alike. Serve these with your favorite dips or just by themselves for the perfect finger food. To prepare, bake these little parcels at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or till the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Kale and Vegetable Dumplings

Asian pot stickers with a twist, these kale and vegetable dumplings are the perfect alternative to the meat-filled dumplings everyone is accustomed to. Loaded with kale, spinach, tofu, corn, carrots, cabbage, onions, edamame, and just the right amount of sesame oil, these easy vegan appetizers are a burst of flavor with every bite.

Just like any other dumplings, you can either steam or fry these for best results. If you are a fan of pan-fried dumplings, heat a large frying pan over the stove and coat it with oil; place the frozen dumplings and cook for a minute. Then add ½ a cup of water to the pan and cover to allow the dumplings to simmer away until all the water from the pan is absorbed.

For steamed dumplings, lightly coat a steam rack with oil before placing the dumplings directly on the rack. Place the rack over boiling water and allow the dumplings to steam for 10 to 12 minutes or till they are heated through.

Root Vegetable Kabob

Who said kabobs are only for those who eat meat? Our root vegetable kabobs are so hearty and delicious that they will impress even the most hardcore kabob lover. Made with ruby red beets, golden sweet potatoes, silky white turnips, and caramelized carrots, these mini skewers will fly off the trays as soon as they are set out. The subtle hints of herbs like thyme, sea salt, and rosemary take the flavor to the next level. Serve these with your favorite sauce or a choice of chutneys for the best combination.

To prepare these simple vegan appetizers, you only need to preheat an oven to the desired temperature and place these skewers in the frozen state on a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Bake these at 350 degrees for 7 to 11 minutes in a hotel-quality oven or 400 degrees for 14 to 18 minutes in an electric one. Gas ovens need the best results for 12 to 16 minutes at 375 degrees. Rotate the baking tray halfway through the cook for more even results.

Vegetable Samosa - Potato & Pea

These vegetable samosas, a beloved Indian delicacy, feature a crispy vegan pastry that encases a rich combination of tender potatoes, carrots, scallions, cilantro, garlic, and fresh green peas. The dish is elevated to new heights by the generous inclusion of garam masala and other traditional Indian spices, resulting in a truly indulgent blend of flavors. Serve them with mint chutney or the all-time favorite tomato ketchup to take your guests on a trip to the street food of India.

Although traditionally deep-fried, these easy vegan appetizers can also be baked to avoid more time spent over a stove. Deep fry them at 350 degrees for 7 to 12 minutes or bake them at the same temperature until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
