Ultra-crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside these Crispy Tofu Bites are glazed with a savory sweet sauce that's loaded with ginger, garlic and black pepper. The perfect plant-based appetizer. - 1

Getting together with friends and family is always a good time-but figuring out what to serve? That’s the tricky part. These days, more and more people are leaning into plant-based eating, whether for health, sustainability, or just because it tastes great. I’ve pulled together a list of crowd-pleasing vegan appetizer recipes that no one will guess are vegan. Think: crispy tofu bites that are golden and addictively crunchy, a lusciously creamy spinach dip(yet dairy-free), and flaky scallion pancakes that disappear fast. Skipping the meat and cheese doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor-and honestly, unless you say something, most people won’t even notice. Bookmark this list for your next party-you’ll be glad you did.
