If you’ve spent any time on social media, you’ve probably seen all kinds of boards – charcuterie boards, cheese boards, even dessert boards. They’re a really fun way to serve a variety of things for parties.

This appetizer board is something we love to make for parties or when we want to treat ourselves at the end of the week. It’s an assortment of hot snacks and appetizers, and it’s really easy to assemble.

What Can You Serve on an Appetizer Board?

Pretty much anything you like! That’s what great about it – you can easily customize it with your favorite snacks and appetizers.

I’ve been sharing quite a few recipes lately that we love to use on ours, so I’m showing you how to make your own board filled with easy party appetizers.

But first, you need some snack board ideas! Here’s what I like to include:

• Pigs in a Blanket
• Barbecue Meatballs
• Baguette Pizza Bites
• Loaded Tater Tots
• Cheese Quesadillas
• Carrot and celery sticks
• Slice cucumber and red bell pepper
• Dipping sauces for the snacks like salsa, guacamole, ketchup, mustard, and ranch dressing.

I include the quesadilla recipe in the card – it’s an easy two-ingredient recipe that you can make in your air fryer.

How to Assemble the Appetizer Board

The first rule is, there are no rules. You can arrange the snacks however you like, but I wanted to share some tips that work for me when I make one.

The board:You will need a base like a large cutting board, slate, or a sheet pan or cookie sheet. A sheet pan works well because it contains everything, and it’s easy to move around. Just be sure to use a board that is big enough to hold all of the appetizers.

Things in bowls:I like to place anything in a bowl first – like the meatballs and the different dipping sauces. Place them so there are spaces between them that you can fill with the other snacks.

Main snacks:Next, place the bigger snacks in between the bowls. Place them near the dipping sauces that go with them, like salsa with the quesadillas and ketchup with the pigs in a blanket. Stack them up or create a pile to arrange each of them.

Smaller snacks:Once you’ve got all of the main appetizers arranged, fill in the open spots with the vegetables. You could also add crackers, potato chips, or pretzels.

Other Appetizer Ideas

Here are some other appetizers we use that you might like, too. You don’t have to make them from scratch. Sometimes we buy our favorite frozen appetizers to make it really easy!

• Jalapeno poppers with ranch dressing
• Chicken eggrolls with sweet and sour sauce
• Mozzarella sticks with marinara
• Buffalo wings with bleu cheese dressing
• French fries with dipping sauce

There are many possibilities for a snack board, so get creative and make one with everything you love. Make a big appetizer board with easy appetizers for a crowd, or create a smaller one for a fun family movie night. I hope you give it a try!
