The Super Bowl is one of our favorite times to chow down on everything from guacamole to queso, but it’s not only about the chips and dip. These bite-size appetizers know how to rack up lots of flavor points. Stock up on napkins and toothpicks, then let everyone dig in. Even if your team didn’t make it to the finals this year, we know you’ll have a blast at the party if you invite a few of these mini morsels along.

13. Air Fryer Cajun Sausage Bites: Fiery homemade sausage bites are more flavorful than what you buy in a plastic tube, and you can cook them in the air fryer to reduce the amount of oil needed to cook them until crispy on the outside. (via Cotter Crunch)
14. Marinated Tortellini Skewers: Transform tortellini from entrée to app by marinating it in herb-infused olive oil and threading it onto skewers along with mozzarella, peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil. (via Give it Some Thyme)
15. Sticky Thai Meatballs: Keep the grape jelly and ketchup where they belong — far away from your meatballs. Instead, opt for a recipe that uses dynamic flavors like Thai curry paste, ginger, and fish sauce to season the meal and combines chili flakes, soy, rice vinegar, and honey for the sticky-sweet sauce.

And second, they’re dunked into a sticky pomegranate sauce for an unexpected burst of fruity flavor with each bite. (via Half Baked Harvest)
21. Instant Pot Deviled Eggs: Every party needs a tray of deviled eggs, an old-fashioned app that’s usually still the first thing to go at a party. Make a big batch in your Instant Pot and keep the stove top free for whipping up a pot of your famous game day chili. (via Skinny Taste)
