Some healthy snack ideas
By
With all the rubbish food on sale out there, I’m looking at you “Fruit” Roll Ups, finding a healthy snack option can be rather difficult. I’ve come up with, or found, some good recipes that you can share with friends and you know are good for you.
Roti chips
- 6 pack of roti/chapati bread
- 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic puree
Mix oil and garlic together, then lightly brush a roti with the mixture. Slice into eight pieces and bake at 150C until light brown. Roti is a good bread for this as it’s made with wholemeal flour and these chips are very tasty. But to have chips, you need dip.
Aioli dip
- 1/2 cup of light sour cream
- 1/3 cup of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of garlic puree
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Mix all ingredients together and whisk until smooth.
Tomato, lime & vodka salsa
- 1 can of chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of lime juice
- 1/2 cup of quality vodka (Russian Standard is my preferred option)
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons coriander
- 2 chipotle peppers, roughly chopped
Mix all ingredients together, preferably leave in the fridge overnight, then add to saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes until thick.
Crunchy chickpeas
- 1 can of chickpeas
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then add the oil and spices and shake until chickpeas are well covered. Bake at 180C for 45-60 minutes. These are good on their own or added to a salad. This recipe comes from The Biggest Loser: Simple Swaps cookbook.
