Not snacking isn’t an option, and neither is eating kale. So I say toss the poo and make yourself some delicious healthy Punjabi snacks.
I wish I was a kale eater, I am not! I cannot stress that enough. I’ll eat it if I must but it is not my idea of a snack or an acceptable answer to, “What should we eat?”. I need snacks that are flavorful, satiating, and honestly, just not airy rabbit food or hippy dippy nonsense like rice cakes with a tablespoon of cottage cheese. I’m a big eater and I need snacks that are filling and handle that desire of wanting junk food. So if you’re like me and need nutritious snack ideas that hit the spot without any guilt, these healthy Punjabi snacks are for you!
Whether you’re a dedicated vegan, trying to keep it low-fat, or cutting back on those pesky carbs, there’s something here for everyone.
First up, let’s talk about vegan snacks. Say goodbye to boring salads and tofu cubes, and hello to flavor-packed delights like air fryer okra chips and air fryer green bean chips. These crispy and crunchy treats are so addictive, you won’t even realize they’re vegan! If you’re looking to keep it low-fat, we’ve got you covered too. Whip up some air fryer sweet potato chips or air fryer karele chips for a guilt-free snack that’s big on flavor and light on the calories. And for those of you watching your carb intake, fear not! Indulge in some air fryer crispy chana for a protein-packed snack that won’t leave you feeling sluggish. Or how about some street corn with a twist? It’s the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and satisfying.
But wait, it gets even better! Not only are these snacks easy to make, but they’re also downright delicious. From the smoky flavors of reshmi kebabs to the zesty kick of lemongrass shrimp, there’s something here to tantalize your taste buds. And yes, I KNOW there are a few fusion recipes in here, Susan! But I’ve made them and thus claimed them as my own, so there!
