Edamame beans, hard boiled eggs and popcorn are my personal favourites.
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
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas
- Place a paper towel on a large plate, put the chickpeas on top, then another paper towel
- Microwave for 10 minutes
- Heat some oil in a frying pan
- Pan-fry the chickpeas
- Add spices
I have questions: why microwave before frying? (regardless of the 10 minute time) are you drying them out? would dehydration work the same or if you dont have one leave on towles uncovered in the refrigerator overnight work as well?
It is indeed for dehydration. As for the alternative techniques, I have no idea if they would work.
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
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.
Mixed raw unsalted nuts make up 90% of my calorie intake.
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!
I use the “mouthguard” method. Cut in half vertically splitting the navel. Cut each half into 4 slices horizontally. Pop one of those bad boys in your mouth and smile like an idiot 😆
Oh, that brings back memories… As a kid I used to take a large slice (1/6th of an orange), eat it like that, and then cut monster teeth into the slice before popping it in like your method, then chase my parents who would pretend to be scared.
Ever eat an orange in the shower? Life changing.
I finally got the chance to do this recently. It’s true, it really takes the stress out of eating an orange. You get those bits under your fingernails and juice running down your chin and arms and it doesn’t matter because you can scrub it all off immediately.
The ONLY downside is not knowing where to put the peel if you’ve gone for a mandarin orange. Or forgetting to dispose of the skin after your shower so your roommates find it and ask you questions. Although once you explain the concept of a shower orange they usually are very accepting. We live in a very tolerant era for shower oranges, all things considered.
I’ve gotta get on that that sounds amazing
I love edamame too! Steamed with some salt is perfection
If I’m feeling fancy maybe some water crackers with brie
