    Zucchini Chips

    Tasty zucchini chips can make an appetizer that nobody would expect!  Completely different from chips and dip, these encourage guests to gather and enjoy something lower-calorie and highly delicious

    These do take some time once they get into the oven, so be prepared to devote a couple of hours of your afternoon to them.  Slice zucchini rounds and bake at 225 for two hours until they're dry and crispy. 

    This is best if done on silicone baking mats since it ensures they won't stick.

    Themed Platters

    Charcuterie boards are back in style!  The best way to make the most out of a themed platter or charcuterie board is to create a collection of sweet, savory, acidic, fatty, and carbs.

    This combination ensures that every bite is perfect, and guests can make whatever flavors or tastes they want. 

    Although it can take some time to make the ideal board,  including flavors like pepper jelly dip and local fresh fruits can make it a delicious treat for anyone to enjoy.

    Flavored Goat Cheese

    Goat cheese is awesome for anyone who wants to mix things up and surprise with a great appetizer.  Flavored goat cheese can be made to suit any palate, from savory with olive oil and garlic to something sweeter with berry preserves.

    If you want, you can even offer a few flavored cheeses alongside the more traditional ones.  Serve with crackers or crusty bread, and your guests will enjoy every bite!

    Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple

    Salt, fat, acid, and heat together are what make the best dishes on Earth.  This is such a good combination that a popular cookbook and show by Samin Nosrat was made from the idea!

    One of the best ways to make something small that offers this much flavor is bacon-wrapped pineapple.  To make this, cut pineapple into bite-sized pieces and wrap in one single cut of bacon. 

    Skewer with a toothpick and cook at 350 for five to ten minutes until your bacon is cooked through and starting to brown.

    Fruit Skewers With Tajin

    Although fruit skewers are nothing new: most of America outside of the southwest don't realize the beauty of fruit with Tajin on it. 

    This fun pepper and lime powder are specially made to be sprinkled on fruit like watermelon, peaches, and mango so that you get a fantastic mix of sweet, sour, and spice.

    Tajin makes fruits more flavorful and delectable, and if someone hasn't tried it yet, they'll never stop thanking you for introducing them to it.  If tajin isn't available in your area, there are tons of knock-off recipes so that you can make it yourself!
