Need Gluten-Free Appetizer Ideas? Try These Tips from The Pampered Chef!

In summary, gluten-free "hearty" appetizers typically use gluten-free flours, breadcrumbs, vegetables, meats, and dairy-free cheese alternatives. There are gluten-free options for traditional appetizers like bread or crackers, such as rice crackers or tapioca bread. Regular ingredients cannot be substituted for gluten-free ingredients in a "hearty" appetizer recipe. There are gluten-free alternatives for breadcrumbs, such as crushed crackers or gluten-free panko. While specific kitchen tools are not necessary, it is important to thoroughly clean utensils and surfaces to avoid cross-contamination when cooking gluten-free.

That's what my host is asking for. Any suggestions before I start combing through my cookbooks?


Thanks!

Tortilla chips are gluten free, so maybe you could do Jerk Chicken Nachos. Or instead of the Jerk rub, use the Chili Lime Rub and do the Confetti Mango Salsa. I don't know if that's "hearty" enough, though. :)
 
Jerk Chicken Nachos! OR Mexican Cheese Crisps. Or Touchdown Taco Dip w/ chips.

Also - the new recipe for 7 layer salad dip - SO yummy, and you can serve it with veggies and GF crackers. (we like the Blue Diamond Nut crackers - those are really good...or Glutino has good GF crackers too, and also the Back To Nature rice crackers are good.)
 
Yes! That 7 layer salad dip is soooo delicious!! I didn't think I'd like it because I hate peas, but for some reason I really don't mind them in that recipe! Go figure! lol :D

Great ideas! I think I'll recommend the 7 layer salad dip!Amanda
 
The microwave chips either potato or sweet potato are glutin free. If you ever need breadcrumbs for meatloaf you can substitute cooked quinoa. It absorbs flavors and very healthy.
