Whether you want to prepare something salty and crisp or creamy and full of umami, you'll find that these no-bake Thanksgiving appetizers are the perfect way to entertain guests before carving your roast. Here is what to make:
Sweet Potato Crisps with Avocado and Garlic Mayo
Liberate your oven and make these deep-fried sweet potato crisps on your stove top. A creamy avocado-garlic mayo makes the perfect contrast to this crispy crunchy appetizer.
Chickpea Puree with Herbed Cheese and Crackers
This no-bake appetizer is a breeze to make. Unlike crostini, crackers won't need to go in the oven and are the perfect vehicle for creamy dips.
This earthy mushroom paté makes a great starter. Scoop it up with crackers or breadsticks and pair it with bubbly for a festive treat full of umami.
For a nice way to kick up a traditional potato salad, try adding octopus infused with herbs, lemon and olive oil. Serving seafood on Thanksgiving is unexpected but delicious.
