Pumpkin Cranberry Bites are a quick and easy appetizer that taste amazing and can be made ahead of time too, the perfect party food!
Cranberry week continues with another awesome {and easy} appetizer recipe for you. These Pumpkin Cranberry Bites are a perfect holiday party appetizer and they are ridiculously easy to make too!
To make this triscuit recipe, you will definitely want to read up on how to cut a pumpkin because they have roasted pumpkin on top of a delicious cranberry compote and then topped with a fried sage leaf. Oh, and don’t forget a drizzle of honey just for good measure. Yum!
These little bites are full of flavor. From the brightness of the cranberry compote to the warmth that the honey and fried sage add, it is like a party in your mouth.
I just love how all the different parts of this little appetizer work together. Plus, the colors look awesome on a plate too. This might be the perfect party appetizer!
If you are making this for a party, you can make the all the parts ahead of time and just assemble right before your event. Those are my favorite types of appetizers because they mean I can do most of the work away ahead of time!
