7 Healthy Super Bowl Party Recipes

Super Bowl

Super Bowl Sunday is upon us again! And we know that the food being served is almost as important as which team is scoring the most points. But why bother with store-bought snacks when you can make healthier homemade versions of all the sweet and savory and spicy treats that you and your guests love?

No matter who wins the game, your fellow fans will see you as the true champion!

Southwestern Layered Bean Dip

Super Bowl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plenty of black beans, salsa and chopped fresh vegetables mean a healthy amount of dietary fiber in this Tex-Mex layered dip. We use reduced-fat sour cream along with full-fat (and full-flavored) cheese to make the dip lighter without compromising great taste. Be sure to have lots of baked tortilla chips on hand when you serve it.

Servings: 12 (about 1/2 cup each)
Cook Time:
20 minutes
Total Time:
20 minutes

Boneless Buffalo Wings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even though boneless Buffalo wings are made with healthy white-meat chicken, they’re usually deep-fried and drenched in hot sauce laced with butter. The solution: chicken tenders are dredged in seasoned whole-wheat flour and cornmeal, pan-fried in only a small amount of oil and then drizzled with a tangy hot pepper sauce. With a fraction of the fat, calories and sodium, these boneless wings are reason enough to throw a party.

Servings: 8 (2 “wings”, 1/2 cup vegetables & 2 tablespoons dip each)
Cook Time:
30 minutes
Total Time:
40 minutes

Ingredients

Spicy Blue Cheese Dip:

2/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Wings & Veggies:

3 tablespoons nonfat buttermilk, (see Tip)
3 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank’s RedHot, divided
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar, divided
2 pounds chicken tenders, (see Ingredient Note)
6 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
6 tablespoons cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
2 cups carrot sticks
2 cups celery sticks

Directions

1. To prepare dip: Whisk sour cream, blue cheese, 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. To prepare wings: Whisk buttermilk, 2 tablespoons hot sauce and 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a large bowl until combined. Add chicken; toss to coat. Transfer to the refrigerator and let marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

3. Meanwhile, whisk flour and cornmeal in a shallow dish. Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon of hot sauce and 1 tablespoon of vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.

4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and roll in the flour mixture until evenly coated. (Discard remaining marinade and flour mixture.) Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon cayenne.

5. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken, placing each piece in a little oil. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and chicken, reducing the heat if necessary to prevent burning. Transfer to the platter. Drizzle the chicken with the reserved hot sauce mixture. Serve with carrots, celery and Spicy Blue Cheese Dip.

Make Ahead Tip: The chicken can marinate (Step 1) for up to 1 hour. No buttermilk? You can use buttermilk powder prepared according to package directions. Or make “sour milk”: mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup milk.

Chile-Lime Tortilla Chips

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These tortilla chips are baked, not fried, and a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of chili powder add flavor without tons of calories. Plus with 5 grams less fat per serving than a packaged version, they deliver all the crunch without the guilt.

Servings: 6 (8 chips each)
Cook Time:
30 minutes
Total Time:
30 minutes

Ingredients

12 6-inch corn tortillas
Canola oil cooking spray
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Position oven racks in the middle and lower third of the oven; preheat to 375°F.

2. Coat both sides of each tortilla with cooking spray and cut into quarters.
3. Place tortilla wedges in an even layer on 2 large baking sheets. Combine lime juice and chili powder in a small bowl. Brush the mixture on each tortilla wedge and sprinkle with salt.

4. Bake the tortillas, switching the baking sheets halfway through, until golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the tortillas).

Make Ahead Tip: Store in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days.
