13 Hanukkah Appetizers Your Family Will Polish off in No Time at All
Gear-up for the Festival of Lights with these easy Hanukkah appetizers that really get the party started — and keep it going for eight crazy nights. So, what are the best appetizers to serve at a Hanukkah party? Latkes are a given, but we’ve got some unique toppings ideas for you to upgrade your typical latke recipe this year (start with the epic combo of horseradish sour cream, dill and pomegranate seeds, trust us!). Just like any other celebratory meal, starting with a soup is always an elegant (and easy!) option that won’t fill anyone up before the main feast. Spiced nuts make a delicious nibbler to enjoy while sipping cocktails, or try whipped ricotta on toast for a more substantial app if you’re not serving a sit-down dinner. And if you’re still not sure what to bring to a Hanukkah potluck, you can’t go wrong with an easy dip recipe (and lots of chips!). We rounded up plenty of delicious dips with various bases, like split peas, cream cheese, beets and of course, chickpeas.
These appetizers will round out your traditional dinner menu, whether you’re serving slow cooker brisket, roast chicken, or any one of our favorite Hanukkah foods. They’ll slate your appetite while waiting for that salmon to finish roasting or for your sufganiyot dough to rise. Speaking of the traditional Hanukkah dessert, don’t forget to complete your feast with tasty treats, like our favorite honey balls or rugelach.
