We’ve given this ultimate bar-food favorite an oven-fried make-over that’s so delicious these poppers are guaranteed to fly off the buffet table at your next party. The genius combination of breadcrumbs and cornmeal used for the coating gives them a crispy exterior and eliminates the need to fry them in oil. Although their coating is well-seasoned with garlic salt and paprika, these bite-sized nuggets get even more bold-flavor from a quick stir-together creamy salsa dipping sauce. Incorporate red bell pepper strips, carrot sticks, and cucumber slices to the platter to add some festive color and to keep the appetizers lighter overall.
