Need a Vegan Finger-food idea/recipe

We're having a party next week, and one of our friends is vegan. If he's able to come, I want to make sure to have a couple of items he can eat, but that will still be appealing to non-vegans. I'm already planning on hummus with veggies but I don't want the poor guy to have to just eat that all night.

Any ideas?

Re: Need a Vegan Finger-food idea/recipe

  • Do you care if it's another dip or not? Chips and salsa or guacamole immediately come to mind. Or a baba ganoush-type eggplant dip. I think stuffed grape leaves (dolmas) are usually vegan and I absolutely love them. You could check a Greek market near you or attempt them yourself.
  • I love this blog for vegan recipes: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/.  Most everything I've made from here has been very good.
  • What about stuffed mushrooms, spiced nuts, sweet potato fries with a dipping sauce, soup in shot glasses
  • Meatless eggrolls could work; they shouldn't have dairy in them. Actually, most meatless asian food would work.

  • There are a few wrap and dip recipes here:  http://www.fresh365online.com/recipes/category/vegan

    You could also make falafel, which would go well with your hummus.  I usually serve it with plain yogurt mixed with dried dill and cucumber.  I add an egg to this recipe, but you could use a little bit of water instead (it's just to help hold the falafel patties together):  http://allrecipes.com/recipe/jeanies-falafel/detail.aspx

  • Thanks for the ideas y'all. I will check out the blogs. Chips and salsa is a great idea (and obvious, I can't believe I didn't think of it). I also didn't think about something Asian. I might even be able to cheat with that and find some frozen eggrolls or something at Costco!
  • I am totally addicted to pinterest and found these zucchini roll ups that are so good. They call for cream cheese but WFs has a vegan cream cheese that is actually good. And, I grilled zucchini on my grill pan last week and they turned out great!

  • There's actually a ton of easy options!

    Bruschetta (just make sure the bread doesn't have eggs or a milk protein but generally, a lot of bread is vegan).

    Vegan pizza bites (make with diya cheese you can get at WF)

    unbuttered Popcorn

    Chocolate fondue (just use semi-sweet chips...Ghiradelli, Wegman's brand, Whole Foods are vegan) with bananas, strawberries, potato chips, kettle popcorn (Costco sells a bag of Angie's Popcorn that tastes so good!

     Tater Tots

    You can also buy any Gardein product at Whole Foods, Mom's, even Giant.  In the refigerated section they have all sorts of prepared stuff (like chicken wings, bbq skewers), and in the freezer section they have things like "beef tips", Schezuan chicken, chipotle lime chicken strips, etc.  Check out their website for products and recipes: http://www.gardein.com/index.php

  • Anything from oh she glows (www.ohsheglows.com).  Everything I've made from the blog has been fantastic.
