Friends dropping by unexpectedly? Need to whip up some appetizers in a hurry? With a jar of spread and a few ingredients from the fridge, you can put together a colorful, generous, and 100% plant-based platter.
1. Crispy Open-Faced Sandwiches
Toast thin slices of country bread or baguette. Spread generously, then add a topping: sesame seeds, fresh herbs, or a few thinly sliced crunchy vegetables. Alternate our five flavors for a platter that makes an impression: carrot, cumin, and chili add a spicy kick, while fennel and caramelized onion offer a sweet, melt-in-your-mouth note.
2. Raw Veggies and Dip
Cut carrots, cucumber, radishes, bell peppers, and cauliflower into sticks. Serve the spread as is for dipping.
3. Mini Rolls
Spread the spread on a wheat flatbread, add a few leaves of baby greens and some grated raw vegetables, roll up tightly, then cut into pieces. A favorite: Thai-style sweet potato.
4. Puff Pastry Bites
Cut puff pastry into squares, place a spoonful of spread in the center, fold into a triangle, and bake until golden brown for about 15 minutes. Served warm, they’ll disappear in no time. The fennel and caramelized onion come through beautifully.
5. Stuffed Chicory Leaves
Fill chicory leaves with the butternut squash and peanut butter spread, then sprinkle with crushed peanuts and a few fresh herbs. The slightly bitter crunch of the chicory perfectly complements the richness of the spread. Fresh and ready in 5 minutes.
Our tip: Serve each spread in a small bowl in the center of the platter. Everyone can assemble their own bites to their liking, and the colors take care of the decoration.
