Aside from the actual game of football, Super Bowl is also known for the commercials, the halftime show, and the food. All that delicious finger-food type of nibbles that you can crunch, dip, and graze on throughout the game. It does get a little trickier when you are living gluten-free. There are loads of hidden (and not so hidden) gluten in those traditional types of appetizers but that doesn’t mean they can’t be made gluten-free. With a little extra effort, you can put together an impressive gluten-free spread, especially with these gluten-free Super Bowl recipes for game day.
We intentionally strayed from the usual wings and nachos type of snacks. We wanted to kick it up a notch and offer food that would make your guests feel like they had eaten a meal rather than just snacking. The Super Bowl Halftime is normally about 20-30 minutes. You don’t want to have to plan a fast dinner during that time if you can avoid it. That time is better spent stretching your legs, catching up with your guests, and preparing for the second half of the game. With this selection of food, no one will be missing dinner.

Gluten-Free Rice Balls
Rice balls are an Italian classic dish and this cheesy recipe will be a perfect addition to your game day food lineup. They are like an ooey-gooey flavour bomb that are best served hot but they are just as tasty at room temperature.
Gluten-Free Pizza Dough
When people hear gluten-free pizza crust, they normally think of tasteless cardboard topped with sauce and cheese, but that does not have to be the case. A fluffy crust is easier to achieve than you think. Just follow these tips and this recipe, and you too can easily make the perfect pizza topped with all your faves.
Gluten-Free Spinach Stuffed Pepperoni Pizza
This recipe takes pizza to the next level. It’s like 2 pizzas in 1. You have a traditional tomato sauce-based pizza on the top plus a spinach-stuffed pizza in the middle. It’s like having more of a good thing. It’s so incredible and it’s not difficult to make either.
SANDWICH IDEAS:
You can do a make-your-own sandwich station by serving a tray of protein alongside a tray of possible vegetable (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, etc.) and/or condiment (mustard, mayo, salsa, sriracha, etc.) toppings and a basket of gluten-free bread/buns. Or you can place the protein in the gluten-free bread/bun and top them with what you see as the most popular selections. Either way, a sandwich with any of these proteins is going to be special.
Gluten-Free Chicken Cutlet
It’s tricky getting that gluten-free crispy coating just right, but that’s exactly what this recipe does and it gets it oh so right. Crunchy, juicy deliciousness. You can either use pieces or strips of chicken to make chicken nuggets or fingers too or you can make sandwiches with the cutlets for a sandwich tray.

Gluten-Free Rice Pudding
Rice-based desserts are a wonderful way to make a gluten-free sweet course and this rice pudding recipe is the perfect example. So creamy and delicious. You can keep it in the fridge and let everyone scoop some out when they want.
Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookie
When you need a little extra sweetness, turn to this vegan gluten-free peanut butter cookie recipe with a sprinkle of salt on top (refined sugar-free too). You can keep these out throughout the game and let them decide when they want a healthy, sweet bite.
BARS:
The beauty of bars is that they can be baked, cut, and placed on trays ahead of time. They can sit out and be just as delicious after sitting out for 4 hours as they were when you first cut them.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bar
