6 easy game day snacks

Game day = snack time and I’ve got you covered with six delicious recipes from wings to dips to nachos and more!

The best part is that they’re all easy to make and either the whole recipe or all of the components can be prepped ahead!

(Recipes are all linked in the titles and photos).

1. Baked Chicken Wings (Three Ways)

Easy oven baked wings with three sauce options. Can’t go wrong! Make your sauces ahead, then simply bake and toss when it’s time to eat.

2. Cheesy Chicken Taquitos with Pumpkin Yogurt Sauce or Crispy Oven Tacos with Cilantro Jalapeno Sauce

Taquitos are the perfect game day dinner or snack. Roll your filling up in a tortillas and bake it until crispy and dipp-able. Serve with your sauce of choice. Crispy oven tacos are basically the same thing but in taco form and they come with a killer sauce.

Make the fillings ahead, then just assemble and bake!

3. Greek Yogurt Spinach and Artichoke Dip

If you’re looking for a dip that doesn’t feel heavy but also doesn’t skimp on flavor (husband approved!), this is right up your alley. It’s packed with protein and veggies and it’s extremely easy to make and can be prepped ahead.

Make the dip ahead, then just pop it in the oven when it’s time.

4. Dean’s Favorite Nachos or Stuffed Bell Pepper Nachos

Go for classic nachos or sub in bell peppers for a Texas-style veggie nacho! You could make my Instant Pot Carnitas as the meat topping for either one or stick to the recipe.

All of the nacho components can be prepped ahead, then just thrown together on the sheet pan, baked, and served immediately!

5. Goat Cheese Stuffed Pepper Bites with Jalapeño and Honey

Or make this spin on guacamole! It sneaks in frozen spinach and loads it up with all the crunchy, cheesy, herby toppings.

You can make this dip a day ahead and prep the toppings ahead, then add your toppings at the last minute.

6. Cheesy Honey Mustard & Onion Pretzels

Or make next level pretzels! Simply bake them in a honey mustard mixture with loads of cheese until crisp and super flavorful. I used to loved the Snyder’s Honey Mustard and Onions Pretzels and these pretzels are a welcome substitute!

These are best served fresh, but you CAN make them ahead and serve room temp.
