Patties Finger Foods has released its new range of vegetarian bites and croquettes in stores around the country, offering a savoury, meat-free option for every party occasion.

The new range offers flavours such as sundried tomato, basil and parmesan croquettes, as well as jalapeno, cheese and corn bites, and broccoli and cheese bites.

Patties is tapping into the vegetarian space, as research shows around 53.4 per cent of Australian adults agree they are eating less red meat.

Patties general manager of marketing and innovation Anand Surujpal said: “The demand for vegetarian food is rising, and we are happy to provide variety for Australians with these new finger foods.”

“We want to reflect the changing face of Australia with our quick and easy entertainment options to ensure that everyone at your party is catered for.”

The new range extends Patties’ current meat-free product portfolio, which includes vegetarian quiches, and the Vegan Friendly Rolls, introduced 2019 as a first plant-based offering for Patties Finger Food brand.

The vegetarian bites and croquettes are now available in Woolworths and independent supermarkets nationwide.
