Crispy chickpeas

Sourced from https://youtu.be/5EU76q3Vf3Q

This makes for decently crispy chickpeas, with not that much effort. Chickpeas are also very cheap and quite a healthy alternative as far as snacks go.

I place a paper towel below and above the chickpeas while microwaving to avoid any chickpeas exploding and messing up my microwave oven. Varying the spices allows for good variety in the snacking experience.

Ingredients

• 1 can of chickpeas
• Some frying oil
• Any spice mix you like

Steps

1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas
2. Place a paper towel on a large plate, put the chickpeas on top, then another paper towel
3. Microwave for 10 minutes
4. Heat some oil in a frying pan
5. Pan-fry the chickpeas
6. Add spices

Hear me out Tortilla. You can eat it cold, hot, for lunch, for dinner, and if you wrap it in paper you can eat it pretty much anywhere.

my preference has always been the humble almond; i usually get some dark-chocolate roasted ones which are particularly good and come in 32 packs that i can make last for a month. on the more processed side i will never tire of Wheat Thins--i can go through half a box of those in a day, lol

Oranges are the perfect snack for me. Fiber to satisfy the hunger, juicy enough to not leave me thirsty after, and most kinds are easily peelable by hand so no washing required!

Apples and a homemade oatmeal protein bar (oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, pb, vanilla extract, honey, unsweetened almond milk...chill and cut into bars).

Most days I have an apple in the morning and some cheese, crackers, and salami in the afternoon.

Roasted bell pepper, or diced halloumi marinated in harissa.

Lately I've been on a stuffed olive kick. Not proud of this, but crushed an entire jar of jalepeno stuffed Olives yesterday. Also really love doing Avocado with Balsamic, and regularly put that combo on wheat toast. It's a great easy breakfast as well as super healthy and delicious.

Popcorn

Mixed raw unsalted nuts make up 90% of my calorie intake.

Presently, it's an Indian savoury mixture called Cornflakes Chudva. It's a great snack, blend of savory, sweet+spice, and has a great mouthful.

Chocolate (dark and with praline or hazelnuts), salty crackers, hummus (my favorites are sweet pepper and sundried tomato) with breadsticks.

I love edamame too! Steamed with some salt is perfection

If I’m feeling fancy maybe some water crackers with brie

Cashews. I usually snack on lots of cashews.

Chex mix is problem snacking for me. I literally can not stop myself from eating Chex mix until it is gone, so it is something I very rarely buy.

mission corn tortila chips, jack cheese sand w pickled watermelon rinds

Granny Smith apples and raw almonds, sun flower seeds, spicy peanuts in the shell.. really any seed or nut. And freaking clementines. I don't care how old I get I will always love cuties.

I personally like to make my own whole wheat flatbread from scratch, spreading peanut butter on one side, folding it and eat. I prefer it than chips nowadays

I eat this vegan jerky nearly every day, it's so friggin good...they sell it in 5 lb bulk packages...I have dreamt of ordering it

How do you typically eat edamame beans? I've thought about trying to get accustomed to them, but my experiences have not been that great.

Ritz crackers with sardines and hot sauce.

Chips and homemade salsa

Tuna salad or Egg salad (made with kewpie mayo, etc) on toast.

Popcorn is always good. I get the huge Kirkland box. Lasts me like a year.

Garlic stuffed olives, cashews and also edamame.
