Hosting a Super Bowl party? Keep your menu healthy, without sacrificing on flavor. From nachos to chicken fingers, we've cleaned up 10 of your favorite game-day snacks.

2. Spicy Slow Cooker Chili

3. Clean Mac ‘n’ Cheese

Tosca Reno transformed this high-fat classic into clean comfort food using brown-rice pasta, butternut squash and goat cheese—but we won’t tell if you don’t. Make it in a casserole dish or bake in individual ramekins for each of your Super Bowl guests.

6. Baked Chicken Tenders

Baked instead of fried, these chicken fingers stay crispy, thanks to the oat and pecan crust. Serve alongside a honey mustard dipping sauce or extra mango barbeque sauce leftover from the BBQ Chicken Pizza.
