There are many delicious appetizers you may make if you are hosting a party, which means there’s no reason why you should not partake in them yourself. People with celiac disease are allergic to gluten, a protein present in wheat, barley, and wheat. The gluten in these appetizers is not added. Miniature frittatas prepared with eggs, veggies, bacon, and cheese are a great gluten-free appetizer option. Check the label to see whether the crackers you plan on using for appetizers are manufactured with rice flour. You may get bread or cheese flavored crackers. Use a cookbook containing solely gluten-free recipes to prepare the appetizers instead of reading every dish to check for hidden sources of gluten like wheat.
A platter with fruit and cheese
If you want to sweeten the fruit appetizers a little bit more, you can serve them with a strawberry dip that is based on cream cheese. Store-bought options may include wheat-based substances, so it’s safer to prepare your own. A custard fruit dip is another option, but if you purchase it premade, be in mind that the caramel color may be derived from wheat. Caramel that you make at home doesn’t contain any gluten.
Many other easy gluten-free appetizers
• Homemade cocktail sauce with horseradish and ketchup, to be used on shrimp
Fresh avocados and tomato salsa served on tortilla chips
Sticks of vegetables dipped in hummus; asparagus spears encased in prosciutto, an uncooked, cured ham from Italy. Just reheating it in the toaster will do the trick.
Buffalo chicken talons with your own homemade hot sauce dip create a delicious and fiery appetizer.
• Make roll-offs by stacking slices of turkey with cream cheese on a leaf of romaine lettuce. If they’re too large, divide them in half or thirds and use toothpicks to hold them together.
Brie cheese on toasted baguette pieces; other dips and cheeses
What not to put in appetizers
Avoid using these components, which are sometimes made with wheat, in gluten-free appetizers.
Because of its caramel hue, barbecue sauce pairs well with Worcestershire.
• Soy wine unless it has been verified as a “natural” product.
If you want to create some appetizers that include gluten and others that do not, you should use separate utensils for each kind of appetizer to avoid cross-contamination. Make and clearly label the gluten-free appetizers first to prevent this.
