Appetizers

All of Make Healthy Recipes’ Appetizer recipes!

Appetizers are the best way to get a party started! Whether it’s for a holiday or even a little bite to share with friends, we love looking for new, healthy ways to cook our familiar favorites. These appetizers are all gluten-free and many will be keto, whole30, or vegan-friendly.

Our reader’s favorites include: Rice Paper Dumplings (Air Fryer or Pan-Fried), Frozen Meatballs, Keto Chicken Wings, Paleo Greek Stuffed Tomatoes, Healthy Brushetta (No Bread!), and Vegan Jalapeño Poppers.

Be sure to check out our Loaded Vegan Queso! It’s paleo-friendly and perfect for Taco Tuesday or movie night.
