13+ Vegan Game-Day Recipes

Looking to score big with a vegan Super Bowl or game-day spread? Whether you’re an MVP at making vegan bites or need ideas to feed your vegan guests, you’re in the right place.

In honor of my favorite childhood football player, Dan Marino (#13!), I’ve put together 13+ winning recipes that will have everyone cheering for more. This playbook includes everything from crowd-pleasing snacks and hearty mains to delicious dips, each packed with flavor and perfect for game day.

Crafting a Winning Menu

Whether you're considering an all-plant-based menu or just a few select items, rest assured that vegan food can rival or even surpass traditional game day fare. It won't leave you with that heavy, bloated feeling or make you want to doze off, ensuring you can stay engaged in the game and enjoy those commercials to the fullest.

While a classic vegan pizza bar is a fantastic way to let guests customize their pies with an array of plant-based cheeses, toppings, and a 100% Biga Neapolitan Dough, there’s plenty more to round out the table below.

If snacking is more your style, whip up side items like Sweet Vegan Macaroni Salad, Classic Vegan Coleslaw, or Vegan Jackfruit Nachos. And let’s not forget the essential dips—like Easy Vegan Cashew Queso or Vegan Butternut Nacho Cheese Sauce. They will have everyone munching happily through halftime.
