9 Amazing Vegan Finger Food Recipes

Quick and easy recipes for delicous vegan food, perfect for your next party or even as a snack to take away! Sweet and salty pleasures to eat with your hands.

Everything in small!

At a party or buffet, there are usually a lot of small appetizers. Everyone stands with their friends, chatting about the latest happenings while enjoying delicious pastries, crackers and more food in miniature. And if I’m honest, sometimes it’s just so relaxing to eat with your hands and without too many table rules!
I have listed 6 savory and 3 sweet recipes here, that will help you convince all your friends to try your vegan appetizers; at your birthday party, an event where you are supposed to bring something, for New Year’s Eve or as a simple snack.

SALTY:
Healthy crispy savoy cabbage chips

This finger food is very healthy and has almost no calories, yet it is perfect for any craving or to dip into a nice sauce!
The chips are easy and quick to prepare, made from only 3 main ingredients and baked in the oven instead of deep-fried!

Crispy cauliflower nuggets with vegan cheese sauce

Crispy cauliflower baked in the oven with a creamy, hot cheese sauce of almonds – the ultimate comfort food, but healthy & vegan!
Classic nuggets are deep-fried to get the golden brown crust. But when you bake them in the oven, the crust becomes super crispy too and the cauliflower florets become perfectly tender.
I like to bake them in the oven, because then they’re lower in fat and much healthier.

Vegan Frittata – small size

Italian egg cake with fresh vegetables. Instead of making a large frittata, use 8-10 small muffin forms to create small egg cakes in this recipe. Bake the small frittatas only for approx. 20 minutes.
The frittata consists of a base of chickpea flour and water. It is refined with spices and vegetables and finally decorated with tomato slices and spring onions. You can change the fresh vegetables depending on the season and create completely different tastes.

Vegan chicken nuggets with a crispy oat crust

Simple vegan nuggets made of plantbased proteins without complicated ingredients!
I have seen recipes for vegan nuggets before, but there the main ingredient was always a so-called vital wheat gluten. But I never found this ingredient in the simple supermarkets in my small hometown, and so I decided to create an alternative made of more common ingredients.
So you don’t have to go to any health food store or search in the whole city to find the ingredients: you can find everything in a classic supermarket!

Hand pies with cherry filling

Crispy and crunchy pastry, filled with a refreshing chia cherry jam! Healthy version of the American classic ‘Pop Tarts’ simply homemade!
Pop tarts are filled pastries made of shortbread, classically filled with sugared and unhealthy strawberry jam or a cinnamon-sugar cream. You can buy the high-fat and high-calorie biscuits packaged as finished and processed products. However, if it is possible to make them healthy and vegan at home -without a lot of effort- what are you waiting for?
You have endless possibilities in terms of fillings. From fruit and chocolate to nuts, caramel and chestnut, I can imagine everything beeing super delicious.
