This recipe is delicious and guilt-free for easy, healthy snacking!
Here is a delicious, guilt-free, crunchy, healthy, inexpensive, and easy snack. Do I have your attention? 😀
Where has this snack been all my life? I have no idea. All these years I could have been munching on healthy legumes instead of junky carbs!
Are you worried about the upcoming big game munchfest derailing your New Year's resolution to lose a few pounds? Then this snack is for you! You can munch on this during all four quarters and even if your team doesn't win, you will still feel good knowing you avoided all those calories from pizza and wings and chips!
It's a great option for quick and healthy snacking, just like this Black Bean Veggie Dip!
I am the type of person who snacks to relieve stress. Even though I feel weirdly better while in the process of devouring a sleeve of crackers or a bag of chips, I feel even worse later. (One would think that I would have learned not to do this by now - but that is a discussion for another day!)
However with this snack, I can munch my stress away without the awful consequences later on. This snack is my hero!
I am excited to explore different spice combinations and see what other flavors I can create. Chipotle, garlic salt, rosemary - the possibilities are endless. If you like crunchy snacks, you should definitely give this a try! Much like my Crab Shack Popcorn, this snack is guilt free and will keep your mouth busy and your stomach hungry!

Hi. Thank you for the reminder on this healthy snacking alternative. I've recently started preparing beans from their dry, bulk form. Do you know if they will still work in this recipe? Their consistency seems different than canned beans. And, any idea if this recipe works with sprouted beans?? If not, I can try it and report back to you 🙂
Kristin King
I think the dry beans might work if you soak them overnight and cook them first by boiling them. Once they are cooked, you are at the same starting point as the canned beans, so I think you can just follow the recipe from there. I have never tried this, but if you give it a shot, I would be interested to hear how it turns out! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
