Super Bowl Sunday Finger Food!
Do you have company coming over?! Or maybe you're going to a friends house and need something super simple to make and you're procrastinating and are going to the store right before they close tonight aaaand... well, I got you covered. I have one recipe for vegans AND one recipe for carnivores. So.. whatever the occasion, I'm here for you!
To make things extra simple, the breading situation for both recipes is the same. You just replace the ingredient you're dunking and call it a day.
I am a huge fan of coconut cream. It's great for coating, adding to soups, sauces, and more! Very versatile and very delicious and 100% vegan! Also, for all those, including myself, who struggle with skin issues, coconut cream is a great replacement for dairy.
We're making baked veggie fries with a vegan chipotle mayo and baked popcorn chicken with a buffalo dipping sauce. You can make this in about 30-45 minutes, tops. Perfect amount of time to get ready while they're cooking, and head out to the game!
Alriiiight, enough chatting - let's do this!!!
