The Best Appetizers We Ate in 2018
If you ask us, appetizers are, as a category, pretty ideal. We can eat a bunch of them without feeling too full, and, since they aren’t a main course, we feel like we can get more creative than we normally would. Without further ado, the 18 most irresistible apps we ate in 2018.
1.
Brussels Sprouts Sliders
Serve these at a cocktail party and they’ll disappear in two minutes flat.
3.
Chicken Parmesan Bites
Now we feel silly for thinking classic chicken Parm couldn’t get any better.
7.
Cheater’s Vegetarian Pizza with Zucchini and Bell Peppers
Store-bought flatbread stays crisp underneath a pile of thinly shaved veggies.
8.
Crispy Baked Cauliflower 'Wings'
Eat these babies right away to ensure maximum crispiness.
11.
20-Minute Burrata Salad with Stone Fruit and Asparagus
Quick, easy and unbelievably tasty.
12.
Katsu Bites with Chipotle-Gochujang Sauce
Katsu (aka Japanese panko chicken cutlets) is trending. These little bites are a great jumping-off point.
14.
Cheesy Polenta Bites with Brussels Sprouts and Pancetta
Crispy, cheesy and salty. What more could you want from an app?
15.
Bacon Guacamole
We’ve yet to add bacon to a dish and think, “Nah, that doesn’t work.”
16.
Mini Skillet Pizzas with Mushrooms and Roasted Tomatoes
These are itty-bitty; we won’t tell anyone if you eat five.
17.
Mini Spinach-Ricotta Calzones
Just as irresistible as the full-sized version, but these won’t weigh you down.
18.
Green Bean Casserole Galette
This dish from PureWow's chef in residence Jake Cohen is great on Thanksgiving—or any other day.
