Snacks, also known as appetizers, if you want to be fancy about it, are basically my soul foods. There is nothing better to me than a variety of bite sized foods. That way I can have a little of a lot of different flavors. That being said, I don't always want to spend a lot of time putting a snack together. All of the recipes in this post are simple and have five or fewer ingredients. So, hurray, you can spend more time eating them than it takes to put them together! If you're looking for something a little more filling, check out my post about some equally easy meal ideas!
Air fryer recipes
Honestly, an air fryer really simplifies the process of making food crispy and tasty. While it may not be a required appliance, it is a great luxury. There are countless possibilities for five ingredient snacks in the air fryer.
We will start if off healthy with some crispy eggplant. Yes, you'll have to cut an eggplant, however, the rest of the recipe is so quick and easy!
Chickpeas are an awesome snack! You can season them however you like, almost like popcorn, except more buff.
Alright, to be fair, these wings DO take 30 minutes but most of that time is hands off. Besides, with the air fryer, there is only one dish to clean!
High Protein
If you are going to eat something small, it doesn't hurt for it to be filling and full of protein!
With just peanut butter, oatmeal, and chocolate chips, these tasty snacks will keep you full and satisfy your sweet tooth.
I'm not even sure this recipes needs an introduction. I mean, cheese, bread, and honey...you already know it's going to be good.
Party snacks
Just because you want to feed some friends and family, doesn't mean you have to take up a lot of time or use a ton of ingredients. If you love a good fiesta, also check out my make ahead party foods post!
Convince yourself that prosciutto is healthy by wrapping it around some fruit. Plus, the name makes it sound like an impressive appetizer, so you can easily trick your friends.
This one isn't exactly a health food, but give me a break, this is a post about 5 ingredient snacks after all.
Maybe you can't put together a full meal today and that's ok. Hopefully though, you can at least have a nice snack. Double points if you eat from more than one food group...you know, like processed meat and fruit. You got this.
