5. Spicy Fried Cauliflower “Chicken”
Did you know that many cauliflower bites contain dairy? Not these! Recipe blogger and cookbook author Jenne Claiborne uses a nondairy and egg-free batter to coat the cauliflower and give it an irresistibly crispy texture. Serve with carrots, celery, and nondairy ranch.

6. Caramel Apple Popcorn
On Game Day, there are so many things going on in the kitchen—the last thing you need to worry about is a baked good in the oven. For something sweet, toss together this caramely dairy-free popcorn mix, or set up all the fixin’s and let guests create their own customized bowl.

7. Cookie Dough Dip
This quick dip might be dairy-free, egg-free, and gluten-free, but it is certainly not flavor-free. The secret ingredient to making this luscious, creamy, perfectly sweet spread? Chickpeas. Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it. Whiz up all the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) in a food processor, stir in the chocolate morsels, and it’s ready to serve! Pair with fruit, graham crackers, pretzels, or even squares of dairy-free dark chocolate!
