10 great Super Bowl snacks!

Super Bowl is just around the corner and what greater opportunity to put a little bit of extra effort into some great snacks! Below you will find my personal top ten favorites that will be great snacks when enjoying the game. For each picture there´s a link that you can follow if any of the snacks look to complicated, have a great Super Bowl and may the best team win!



First let´s start with something very simple, some roasted pumpkin seeds with sea salt.

And follow it with a little bit of vegetables (don´t worry there´s chips and other great stuff coming right up).

Radishes with cream cheese and herbs.


And you just can´t get tired of edamame beans can you?

And who doesn´t love popcorn with lime and chili butter!


 

No snack table is complete without some of this delicious middle eastern classic.



Nachos, gotta love it!



Broccoli is probably not what you´re thinking of when planning you Super Bowl snack selection, but then make some room, this is great stuff.



Home made grissini wrapped in delicious Parma ham.



And why not some more crostinis, this time with a garlic packed white bean dip!

Hummus on toast #128



Hummus is one of the easiest and tastiest stuff you can serve and it goes with almost everything so if you´re preparing a buffet or need an idea for something for your guests to snack on then look no further since Hummus is loved by more or less everybody.

I use canned chickpeas for my recipe but if you like to boil you´re own then that´s fine but personally I don´t think it´s worth the effort if you´re gonna turn it into a dip in the end. I also put some smoked paprika on top when serving that is optional, it can also be replaced by some cayenne if you like a bit of heat. The tahini paste can be found in middle eastern stores but can be excluded if you can´t find it. The Hummus should be dominated by the chickpeas and all other ingredients should be used as seasoning.

Hummus on toast

canned chickpeas
tahini paste (sesame seed paste, can be excluded)
garlic
lemon juice
cumin
olive oil
salt, pepper
smoked paprika powder
parsley (for garnish)
smoked paprika (for garnish)
white bread

Open and remove the liquid from the chickpeas, add tahini paste, peeled garlic, lemon juice, cumin, olive oil, salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Adjust the taste with more seasoning if needed. Toast the bread and put a spoonful of Hummus on top, add some chopped parsley and sprinkle some smoked paprika on top.
