Super Bowl Sunday comes in second place, only to Thanksgiving, as the biggest eating day of the year<\/a> in the United States. Americans consume an estimated\u00a064 million pounds of fat<\/a>\u00a0during the big game thanks to processed chips and frozen apps that teem with calories. Even if you nosh on homemade fare, the usual suspects are often oozing with cheese and fattening condiments<\/a> like mayo and sour cream. This year, whip up some of these healthier Super Bowl snacks for your football party. They\u2019re lightened-up versions of some of your favorite dishes, packed with all the flavor without the extra fat and calories. Game on!<\/p>\n

18 Winning Super Bowl\u00a0Snacks<\/h2>\n

1. Chipotle Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing says game day feast like loaded potato skins. Lighten up your celebration this year by using sweet potatoes and black beans instead of white potatoes and bacon. A drizzle of creamy chipotle sauce makes this appetizer next-level amazing!\u00a0<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Sinless Deviled Eggs<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Deviled eggs might seem innocent enough, but at five grams of fat per half-egg, those little devils can start adding up. This recipe replaces some of the egg yolks with nonfat Greek yogurt, keeping the filling rich and smooth, while reducing some of the fat and none of the protein.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Cheesy Portobello Pizzas<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These inventive personal pies are built on portobello mushrooms, which are rich in fiber and much lower in carbs than regular pizza dough. Topping your mini \u2018zas with spinach and ham adds extra iron and protein. Best of all, your pizza will be ready in less than 30 minutes. It\u2019s faster (and healthier) than delivery, folks!\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>Healthy Turkey Chili<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lean turkey and beans provide the base for this low-fat take on traditional chili (which can get greasy). The warmth from a bowl of this \u2014 not to mention the protein<\/a> and fiber<\/a> \u2014 will fill you up and keep you from mindlessly munching.\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. <\/strong>Beet Hummus<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hummus is already a healthier, protein-packed alternative to creamy dips. Skip the processed options and whip up your own in minutes with this simple recipe. It takes traditional chickpeas and tahini and adds the ruby-colored root vegetable<\/a> for antioxidants<\/a>, plus potassium and vitamin C.\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Dip<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With oven-roasted peppers, feta and spices, this spicy red pepper dip packs flavor without weighing you down. And luckily, it\u2019s a cinch to roast your own at home. Serve this spicy roasted red pepper dip with pita or veggies like carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, and celery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Bite-Size Mexican Chicken Tacos<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nachos have nothing on these bite sized taco bowls. By swapping some of the queso and sour cream for mashed avocado and a homemade salsa fresca, these tacos have all of the Mexican flavor but with way fewer calories \u2014 only 150 for three!\u00a0<\/p>\n

8. Rosemary Beet Chips<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reach for these instead of potato chips during half time. Beet chips are surprisingly easy to make, and they satisfy that craving for something crunchy and salty. Super Bowl snacks that are OK to attack!\u00a0<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Crispy Jalape\u00f1o and Corn Fritters<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike traditional fritters, which are battered and deep fried, this corn fritters recipe calls for just a tablespoon of flour per batch. Plus, they\u2019re pan fried to keep the oil in check. Since fresh corn isn’t readily available during winter, use canned corn to enjoy these fritters year-round!\u00a0<\/p>\n

10. Crispy Oven “Fried” Chicken<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Baking your birds in the oven\u00a0gives it the traditional crunchy texture\u00a0you crave, while slashing fat and calories. A two-piece serving has just seven grams of fat! Even better: Chicken\u00a0provides\u00a0protein to help you stay full, so you don\u2019t feel like munching all the way ’til the final whistle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0Spicy Sweet Potato Fries and Avocado Dip<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Baked sweet potato fries are much more nutritious than the usual football fare, packed with vitamins A and C, iron, and magnesium. We spiced these ones up with some Cajun seasoning and whipped up a creamy, low-fat avocado dip for a cool finish.<\/p>\n

12. <\/strong>Cranberry Chicken Meatballs<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Meatballs might seem innocent because they\u2019re so small \u2014 but don\u2019t let their size deceive you. Eat several and the fat and cals stack up. These alternatives are made with lean ground chicken and the antioxidant-packed homemade cranberry sauce gives an additional pop while letting you sidestep the added sugar of processed sauces.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

13.\u00a0Baked Green Bean Fries with Sriracha Yogurt Dip<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

French fries<\/a> don\u2019t have to be a guilty pleasure, especially when they\u2019re made with vitamin-rich green beans and baked in the oven rather than fried. We coated the fiber-packed beans with gluten-free breadcrumbs and cornmeal for added crunch. Unlike other fries, these green bean fries don\u2019t get soggy, so you can make a big batch and still enjoy their crispy crunch hours later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

14. <\/strong>Healthy Five-Layer Dip<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard not to revisit this Mexican-inspired five-layer fiesta! But you can do that and not feel guilty about it with this good-for-you recipe full of fresh ingredients. You\u2019ll get some healthy fats from the avocado<\/a> and satiating fiber from the black beans and corn<\/a>. And substituting low-fat Greek yogurt for the usual sour cream layer cuts calories like crazy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

15. Brie Sirloin Sliders<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s no such thing as a Super Bowl party without some tasty sliders. These decadent brie and sirloin mini burgers feature lean cut beef that’s seasoned in flavorful herbs. Brie is a soft, creamy cheese, but this recipe gets even smoother with a flavorful avocado spread. You might be thinking, “How is this healthy?” Well, according to\u00a0The Ketogenic Bible<\/em>,<\/a>\u00a0which is where this recipe is from, you can actually lose weight following a high-fat diet.<\/p>\n

16.\u00a0Sriracha-Lime Popcorn<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step away from the microwave and try this homemade popcorn on for size. With a mix of sweet and salty, this inventive recipe hits all the right flavor notes. Sriracha adds a spicy kick, and lime zest balances the heat with some citrus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

17. Vegan Artichoke Dip<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We made over this crowd-pleasing appetizer without any dairy, drastically reducing its fat and calories. Our healthier version is loaded with fiber-rich artichokes, creamy white beans for texture, and plenty of lemon, herbs, and spices for flavor. The dip can\u2019t get any easier \u2014 just throw everything in a food processor and snack away.<\/p>\n

18.\u00a0Baked Zucchini Fries with Garlic Herb Dip<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Crunchy on the outside and deliciously warm and soft in the middle, you\u2019d never guess these baked\u00a0zucchini<\/a> fries have just three grams of fat per serving! Fast food fries usually pack around 10 grams of fat<\/a> per serving because of that pesky deep frier. You can pass on the sugary ketchup, too \u2014 these no-fry fries will taste even better when paired with fresh garlic and herb yogurt dip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
