The table matters for Easter, both in the food you serve, and the people you gather! A fun, beautiful Epic Easter Entertaining Snack Board is a great way to start off the Easter celebration, and today we are going to show you how to do it.
Why we love this board
- It’s savory–with bites of snacks and a healthy crudite
- Beautiful presentation
- Everyone gobbles up all the delicious bites!
Epic Easter Entertaining Snack Board
We love a board that encourages hosting “your way” and keeping it simple and fun!
Start off with some tasty “feel-good” foods, and serve it up on a charcuterie board or snack board. Also consider this very easy recipe (with simple ingredients), to add to the board: Stuffed Mini Bell Pepper Carrots (perfect for Easter).
Let’s get started with these ingredients:
- Head butter lettuce
- Crudite vegetables, for dipping: Blanched asparagus, celery, cauliflower, carrots, jicama, radishes, cucumber, yellow pepper, red pepper
- Snacks: Jalapeño Peppers, Breaded Mushrooms, Mozzarella Sticks, Grape & Chili Sauced Meatballs
- Ranch dip
- Guacamole
- Spinach artichoke dip
- Barbecue sauce
Also add: plastic swords, or tooth picks for the meatballs
How do you prepare an Easter snack board?
- Prepare a giant board with either parchment paper or simply make sure it’s food safe. In the center on a large plate, arrange a head of butter lettuce leaves. Add to the plate blanched asparagus, celery, cauliflower, carrots, jicama, radishes, cucumber, yellow pepper, a red pepper.
- Next arrange 4 dipping bowls with ranch dip, guacamole, spinach dip, and barbecue sauce.
- Cook all the snacks according to package directions, using the microwave, oven, or both. TIP: you can also use the air fryer!
- Place the heated meatballs, made according to package, on two separate plates and add to the board.
- With the remaining mushrooms and mozzarella sticks, arrange to fill up the board to make a beautiful presentation. Place a small container of plastic swords (or toothpicks) on the board for the meatballs.
- Serve with small appetizer plates and napkins.
Tips and substitutions:
- Use the oven or microwave or air fryer works great, too.
- Add your favorite snacks.
- Make a great option for veggies snacks by adding a crudite.
- Set out your favorite dips for dipping.
- If food is really hot, place foil (or a plate) down before adding the hot food.
Our hosting changes from year to year, but this year we’re keeping it casual and serving appetizers for dinner! I’ll be preparing an epic board like this, and our guests will bring a few dishes.
Then, we all dive into a smorgasbord of Easter desserts!
Start with a crudite in the center
For this board we started with a beautiful crudite (blanched asparagus, celery, cauliflower, carrots, jicama, radishes, cucumber, yellow pepper, red pepper) in the middle with sauces for dipping and added an assortment of frozen snacks.
Many of the products can be microwaved – like the Mozzarella Bites, Grilled Cheese Sticks, Meatballs and Loaded Potato Skins. So if you have some baking, you can be microwaving at the same time to put a board together quickly.
How do you serve an Easter snack board?
- Prepare the crudite ahead of time. Put the board together, and set out as guests arrive.
- Serve with small toothpicks and Easter napkins!
Enjoy!
