Option 1: You can make monkey bread into a savory dish.

It can be savory too. The recipe below was a happy surprise when I made it.  It was even selected to be featured in several local publications.

Second option: Quick Potato Skins

The second option is to look for easy appetizer recipes where you can use the ingredients in other dishes.

This recipe also has two other methods using the same ingredients that come from these potato skins. One is a Potato Soup recipe. The other is Potato pancakes.

Third option: Spinach Balls with honey mustard dip

The next option is to add vegetables to your appetizer dish. This spinach ball recipe can quickly be frozen and placed in baggies to pull out and bake easily.  These spinach balls are excellent with honey mustard too. We make this almost every year and at least double it and freeze them for the many parties we host.

Option 4: Homemade Gluten Free Cauliflower Tots Recipe

These tots are made with cauliflower and can easily be made at the last minute to share with your guests after you prep them and place them in the fridge. Add gluten-free items to your appetizer.

Option 5: Make pizza from leftover ingredients and cut it into pizza squares.

I made this pizza recipe with my kids from the leftover pantry (affiliate) items and refrigerated ingredients. It's super easy and can be made in a pinch. The pizza crust can easily be stored in the freezer when you need it for your next party.

Another option: How to Make Red Pepper Tomatillo Dip Recipe

This tomatillo dip has a twist because it has red pepper in it as well.

The next option is great for those low carb guests-Air Fried Pepperoni Chips Recipe

This one is great for anyone who is on a Keto-friendly diet or low carb diet.

The next option: Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe Keto Style

This one is so good and great for people doing the Keto-friendly diet or low carb diet too. It's great will celery. It is made with dairy. The spice can be adjusted depending on your guests options.

Last option: The Best Guacamole Dip Recipe Ever

This is the easiest of my easy appetizer recipes and is my favorite. You can make it ahead and store in the refrigerator. Note my tip on how to make this recipe without it getting brown.

That's it for now. I hope easy appetizer recipes give you some ideas on what to serve at your next party. Let's continue the conversation. What is your favorite appetizer that you love to bring to parties?  Please leave a comment below.
