These crispy little bites will be gone before you know it when you serve them at your house. Plus, it's such an incredibly easy recipe.

6. French Onion Soup Stuffed Mushrooms

You've had stuffed mushrooms before, but you probably haven't had French onion soup stuffed mushrooms. Filled with caramelized onions and topped with gruyere cheese, you'll still be craving these after they're all gone. To make it a vegetarian appetizer, make sure that you use vegetarian Worcestershire sauce or just use soy sauce instead. It will have an equally great flavor!

7. Bean and Cheese Taco Rolls

You definitely want to try these bean and cheese vegetarian taco rolls. Made the same way that cinnamon rolls are made, instead of cinnamon and sugar, the filling is refried beans and taco cheese. You could also use bean dip or mashed black beans instead of refried beans! After that, the possibilities are endless. Top with green onions or cilantro, and serve with cheese dip or guacamole.

8. Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Hummus makes everyone happy, and it's vegan and gluten-free, too. Take some tahini, chickpeas, red bell peppers, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, and blitz it together in a food processor until creamy and smooth. Serve with pita chips and you're good to go!

9. Sweet Potato Puffs

This gluten-free recipe is made by putting mashed sweet potato filling into a mini muffin pan. Then all you have to do is bake! The recipe calls for optional bacon topping, so if you've got a mixed crowd of omnivores and vegetarians, you can top half of them with bacon and top the other half with jalapenos or extra parmesan cheese. Yummy!

10. Spinach Feta Pinwheels

Pinwheels are a wildly popular finger food, for good reason! Inspired by the Greek dish spanakopita, you just spoon some feta-spinach-mozzarella filling onto puff pastry, roll it up like a jelly roll, slice, and bake. These might taste good with white bean dip on the side, too.
