The Best Appetizers for Your Holiday Table
Are you planning to cook for the holidays? Well, here are some fantastic ideas for healthy, easy, and tasty appetizers. You can bring them to parties or cook them for the family. Either way, you'll love these dishes!!
Warm Almonds with Olives and Herbs Number of Servings: 10 Ingredients 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary 1 peel Lemon, peel only 1 cup Whole Almonds 2 cups Mixed olives 5 cloves Fresh Garlic Cloves, Whole Directions 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees 2 Prep ingredients Place olives, almonds, herbs, garlic, and lemon peel on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine. 3 Bake. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until almonds are toasted, olives are beginning to wilt a little, and kitchen is fragrant. 4 Cool and serve Let cool 5 minutes, then serve warm in a bowl. Make sure to include a smaller bowl nearby for guests to discard pits. Crostini with Smoked Trout Number of Servings: 6 Ingredients 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil ¼ cup Fresh Dill ¼ cup Fresh Lemon Juice 8 ounces Smoked Trout 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 teaspoon Kosher salt ½ whole French or Sourdough Baguette Directions 1 Prepare smoked trout In a medium bowl, combine juice of 1 lemon, olive oil, fresh baby dill leaves, and smoked trout. Gently mix until trout is broken into small pieces. Add salt and pepper to taste. 2 Make Crostini Place baguette slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes or until crispy on the edges and beginning to brown. 3 Assemble crostini Arrange crostini on a platter, then put a pile of the smoked trout dip on each crostini. Serve at room temperature. Kale Chips Number of Servings: 4 Ingredients 1 bunch Black Kale, wash and dry 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 teaspoon Kosher salt Directions 1 Prepare kale Wash and dry kale. Remove stems by running a sharp knife along either side of the stem, making sure not to tear the leaves. 2 Cut kale length-wise into 2 strips Kale will almost be cut in half where you removed the stems, so just cut the remaining part so each piece becomes 2 long strips. 3 Preheat oven to 425 degrees 4 Toss kale with olive oil and salt Place kale strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer (may have to bake in batches or use several sheets). Drizzle olive oil over kale, then gently toss leaves so they're evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt. 5 Roast kale Place kale in 425 degree oven and bake for 5-8 minutes or until it's crispy and starting to turn brown. Watch carefully because it browns easily and after that it may taste burned. Remove from oven and let cool. Serve on a plate as "chips." I hope you enjoy these recipes! |
