Every Academy Awards viewing party needs snacks, and you don’t need to be Wolfgang Puck to create a delicious Oscar Sunday spread. These appetizers are easy to make, and they all take 20 minutes or less to make.

Garlic Parmesan Popcorn — If you’re honoring movies, you have to have the traditional movie snack. However, this recipe from Our Best Bites dresses up the movie theater favorite. The quick and easy sauce uses extra virgin olive oil, garlic, basil, thyme and Parmesan cheese. Serve the popcorn in muffin or cupcake wrappers to make it easier for everyone to grab a serving (gold and silver aluminum wrappers are more festive for the Oscars and help keep the butter contained).

Smoked Chicken–Stuffed Yellow Pepper — This meaty appetizer from Oprah only has seven ingredients and can be put together in just a few minutes if you buy the chicken prepared. Yellow pepper even keeps up the gold theme for the Academy Awards.

Caprese Skewers — Tomato, basil, mozzarella and balsamic vinegar is a perfect flavor combination. Make it easy for guests to grab by using skewers with grape tomatoes and mozzarella balls. The Recipe Critic has easy instructions.

Asparagus Wrapped in Crisp Prosciutto — It looks classy, it sounds fancy, but it’s actually so simple. It’ll take 20 minutes to make, but it’s actually only 5 minutes of work before it goes into the oven. Get the step-by-step breakdown from All Recipes.

Salted Chocolate Frozen Banana Bites — The Oscars are supposedly three hours long (let’s be real, it’ll probably push four hours). You’ll need desserts too. These frozen banana bites from Gimme Some Oven are not just quick and easy but also delicious.

Cake Batter Dip — If you have a sweet tooth, this is a great last-minute option that only takes a few minutes to put together. The Chunky Chef has a recipe for an egg-less cake batter dip that uses rainbow sprinkles. Use gold in the mix or just on top to give it a little awards show flair. Serve with graham crackers.

Remember, black and gold decorations and tableware (napkins, plates, utensils) are perfect for an Oscars celebration. Be sure to print out a ballot for each of your guests as well.

The Oscars air live Sunday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
