Whether you\u2019re a die-hard fan or don\u2019t know a fumble from a scramble, one thing every tailgate attendee recognizes is tasty tailgating food! While game-day foods are known for their greasy indulgences and not their nutritional value, creating a nutritious tailgate spread is easier than you\u2019d think.<\/p>\n<p>Use our simple suggestions to make a football feast that\u2019s perfect for health-conscious fans!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Score Big but Go Mini<\/strong><br \/>\nTo keep portions in check, turn to recipes that deliver bite-size, big flavor. There are countless ways to savor fan-favorite recipes, from mini pizzas to mini sliders and mini meatballs, without consuming several large portions. Featuring miniature corn dogs on a stick, our Mini Mexican Street Corn Dogs recipe is a dippable, kid and adult-friendly tailgate option. It\u2019s easy to make, easier to eat and the perfect snackable size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mind the Prep<\/strong><br \/>\nCrispy fried finger foods are a must-have for tailgates, but they require loads of unhealthy fats for frying. Enjoy your crispy, crunchy favorites with healthier preparation methods. Air fryers give foods that crispy satisfaction with just a hint of oil compared to deep fryers. Make air fryer fries using potatoes, zucchini or avocado slices, or try our veg-friendly Air Fryer Honey-Sesame Cauliflower \u201cWings\u201d recipe that\u2019s perfectly crisp and guaranteed to be a hit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smart Swaps<\/strong><br \/>\nInstead of focusing on foods to avoid, swap traditional ingredients for nourishing alternatives or add healthier elements to your favorite football dishes.<br \/>\n\u2022 For baked mac and cheese, substitute cauliflower for noodles and incorporate butternut squash into the cheese sauce for a nutritional boost. <a href=\"https:\/\/pricechopperready.com\/home\/cauliflower-mac-cheese\/\">(See Cauliflower Mac &#038; Cheese recipe)<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 Add beans, peas and lentils to chili for a boost of fiber.<br \/>\n\u2022 Use Greek yogurt as the base for dips and serve with homemade baked tortilla chips or veggie slices.<br \/>\n\u2022 Top burgers with nutritious fruits and veggies like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, grilled mushrooms and pineapple.<br \/>\n\u2022 For a guilt-free tailgate treat, fruit kabobs are packed with nutrients and easy to pop on the grill. Serve with a drizzle of dark chocolate, yogurt or honey.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips for a Healthy (and Tasty!)
