Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or just in it for the commercials, serving up the classic football snacks on Super Bowl Sunday is a given. Thankfully, from burgers and wings to nachos and dips, all of your football favorites can be made vegan. So if you’re thinking about veganizing your Super Bowl Snack lineup, check out some of my favorite vegan Game Day bites below!
