What's the best way to keep the snacks fresh and crunchy?

The key is to prepare most of the components in advance and then assemble the board right before serving. Store the veggies, dips, and cheeses separately until it's time to put it all together. This will ensure maximum freshness and crispness.

Can I make this snack board gluten-free or dairy-free?

Absolutely! Just swap out the pita bread and cheese cubes for gluten-free crackers and dairy-free cheese alternatives. The veggie sticks, hummus, baba ganoush, and meatballs can all be enjoyed as is.

How do I transport the snack board to a party or potluck?

The best way is to assemble the board at home, then carefully transfer it to a sturdy platter or baking sheet for transport. Cover it loosely with foil or plastic wrap to keep everything fresh. Just be gentle when moving it to avoid any spills or mess.

Can I prep anything in advance?

Definitely! You can make the meatballs and chicken tenders ahead of time and reheat them just before serving. The veggie sticks can also be chopped a day or two in advance and stored in the fridge. The dips and sauces can be made 3-4 days ahead as well.

What are some fun serving ideas to make it extra special?

For a festive touch, you can arrange the snacks in the shape of a football field or your team's logo. You could also set up a little "dipping station" with labeled bowls for each sauce and topping. Mini skewers or bamboo picks are great for easy snacking, too.
