Roasted
Chickpeas
Crunchy, sa琀椀sfying, and
packed with protein and
昀椀bre, roasted chickpeas are
an excellent alterna琀椀ve to
processed snacks. You can
even 昀椀nd por琀椀on-controlled,
choc-coated versions in some
stores. Or, make your own with
this easy recipe:
Ingredients:
• 400g canned chickpeas,
drained
• Olive oil spray
• For a savoury twist:
Curry powder, smoked
paprika, rosemary, or chilli
powder with a dash of salt
• For a sweet op琀椀on:
Cinnamon and a drizzle
of honey
Air-Popped
Popcorn
Cinema popcorn is o昀琀en drenched
in bu琀琀er and excessive salt, making
it a high-calorie snack. A healthier
alterna琀椀ve is to air-pop your own
popcorn and enjoy it plain or lightly
salted. If you prefer a store-bought
version, opt for a single-serve bag of
plain or lightly salted popcorn.
Method:
1. Place chickpeas on a lined
baking tray and spray lightly
with olive oil.
2. Add your chosen seasoning
and bake at 180°C for
30–40 minutes un琀椀l crisp.
3. Makes 4 serves,
approximately 140 calories
per serve.
Kale Chips
Turn this nutrient-packed
veggie into a crispy, savoury
snack by roas琀椀ng it in the oven.
Method
1. Lay washed and dried kale leaves on
a lined baking tray.
2. Spray with olive oil and sprinkle
lightly with salt.
3. Bake at 180°C for 10–20 minutes or
un琀椀l crisp.
These chips stay fresh for 2–3 days in
an air琀椀ght container—if they last that
long! Even kids love them, making them
a sneaky way to boost veggie intake.
