If you’re doing your best to avoid eating pre-packaged foods, choosing instead to focus on whole foods and recipes that you can cook from them, something you might feel like you’re missing in your life is snacks. Because while nuts and seeds are great and all, sometimes you just miss the kind of middle school snack that comes in brightly colored packaging. If you’re feeling that way, here are some snack recipes that will hopefully hit the spot.
Crispy Baked Vegetable Chips
Let’s start with a snack classic: potato chips. This version from Wholefully ups the health factor by using a variety of vegetables as the chip base including sweet potatoes, red or golden beets, zucchini, summer squash, taro, rutabaga, and your classic white potatoes. Other than that, all you need is some oil and salt!
Homemade Cheese Crackers
What if you’re more the type who gravitated to those neon orange “cheez” snacks in your childhood? Well, we’ve got you covered, too. This recipe for homemade cheese crackers from Pure Wow is not only homemade, but they taste better than Cheezits too, using real parmesan and cheddar.
Homemade Oreos
How can we avoid finishing with a dessert? We’re not going to pretend that this homemade Oreos recipe from Tasty is healthy, but it’s definitely better for you than the packaged stuff.
