There are times that appetizers are the way to go! In fact, our wedding reception was a “Cocktail Reception”, so I have done a whole bunch of research on how to feed a crowd with finger food! Here are 20 Easy Appetizers that I use time and time again to keep the party going and hungry bellies filled!
20 Easy Appetizers – your blueprint for party success!
My mother served these all the time! They are super easy to assemble and can be made a day ahead! They’re sweet, salty and an easy to pick up finger good. A little time in the oven and they’re ready to go, especially if you’ve prepped ahead of time! These can also be served cold. Regardless, the prep can be up to a day prior! WIN.
Sandy at Simply Happy Foodie shared this Classic Hummus Recipe. Making this ahead only makes it better! Serve this with cut up veggies, pita bread, or both and watch it be devoured by your guests!
Everyone needs a good hummus recipe on hand!
Betty at Slow The Cook Down has created a beautiful Bloody Mary Prawn Cocktail that can be made ahead of time, is gorgeous, and will appeal to ANYONE who loves shrimp!
Magintu always shares such wonderful recipes. This time the Recipes From A Pantry author shared her Crunchy Air Fyer Chickpeas. This has my name written all over it! These chickpeas check off a lot of boxes: easy, simple, healthy, and for a crowd! A make ahead appetizer we can all appreciate!
I have recently found Matthew at Plating Pixels. What a great website. Love. It. Matthew makes easy and healthy recipes with simple ingredients! He has shared TWO recipes with us, and boy are we lucky he did!!

I love an appetizer that you can freeze ahead of time and take out when you need it! Also, you can make these appetizers into any shape you’d like! Take a look at Cassie’s recipe from Cook it Real Good!
Having a Vegan recipe or two in your recipe box is important to do. Everyone has a vegan friend or two if they aren’t vegan themselves. Vegan Huggs is a great resources for these recipes! For this post, Melissa shared her Vegan Spinach Artichoke Hearts – and I don’t believe you need to be vegan to love them!
How delectable do these artichoke appetizers look??

And for the second recipe from Sharla – Make Ahead Hot Corn & Crab Dip
Dips are ALWAYS a great choice to include with appetizers! They’re easy to make, and people love them!
Kylee at Kylee Cooks shared a recipe for Baked Chicken Taquitos. As a lover of everything Mexican food based, I’ll have to say that these look scrumptious!
