18. Chickpea Shawarma Dip

We’ll toss the garbanzo beans in my homemade shawarma seasoning and roast them off! Then, just layer it all in a dish! I don’t think I’d be doing my job if I didn’t bring you food fit for the long weekend celebration to come that not only looked and tasted as phenomenal as this layered dip but also hit the checkmark of ‘easy to pull together. Let’s imagine: layers of creamy, dreamy hummus with roasted, shawarma-scented chickpeas, crumbled feta cheese, and a bright, fresh parsley salad. Best of all, it’s a recipe that uses ingredients most of us already have in the fridge.

17. Sweet Potato Mini Samosas

One of the most popular Indian appetizers, these sweet potato samosas are savoury-filled pastry triangles with potato, peas, and spices served with an easy mango and mint sauce. Making samosa is easier than you would think and become easier with practice. Achieving the triangle shape is the hardest part. They don’t have to be perfect, but they do need to be well-sealed so the filling does not spill out when frying. This makes the dough so crispy and really good. You can bake them, but the outcome is really not the same.

13. Chickpea Bruschetta with Sun-dried Tomatoes

This Chickpea bruschetta with sun-dried tomatoes was made with a rather loose plan of blending a few pantry ingredients together in my food processor and crossing my fingers it came out delicious. The sun-dried tomato chickpea spread has a lot of the Mediterranean flavours of a white bean dip, but a bit more of the texture of a rustic hummus. It tasted really fresh and delicious for a summer snack, but I’m going to keep this recipe in my back pocket for some easy holiday entertaining Vegan appetizers too!

12. Pumpkin Hummus

Many pumpkin recipes are sweet, but this savoury pumpkin recipe is killer. The idea of combining that ubiquitous fall vegetable with chickpeas into savoury hummus seemed a little odd at first. Alex and I were a bit wary but loved the idea of seasonal pumpkin hummus. And now we’re converts! It’s surprisingly good: creamy, savoury and with an undertone of autumnal goodness. This easy hummus recipe is quick to whip up: just 10 minutes in a food processor. This is one of the best Vegan Thanksgiving appetizers so far for pumpkin.

10. Vegan Buffalo Tofu Nuggets 

These Baked Buffalo Tofu Nuggets are so tasty and served with a vegan ranch dip for the ultimate Vegan appetizer. I was even surprised by how amazing these turned out. They’re crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and they have the perfect flavour thanks to our homemade vegan buffalo sauce. Cauliflower is softer and the baked batter makes for a tasty, but softer texture. These are so delicious that you are gonna crave more once you taste these Vegan appetizers.
