DIY Delight: Simple Snacks Made with Avocado Oil
Sometimes the coziest snack is the one you make yourself. Avocado oil works well for high-heat cooking, which makes it a handy pantry staple for homemade snacks too. Here are three easy ideas to try this winter.
Avocado Oil Roasted Chickpeas
Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas, pat them completely dry, and toss with a tablespoon of avocado oil along with your favorite spices (smoked paprika and garlic powder are a great combo). Roast at 400°F until golden and crispy.
Crispy Kale Chips with Avocado Oil
Tear up a bunch of kale, toss the leaves with a drizzle of avocado oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Bake at a low temperature (around 275°F) until light and crisp. It's a fun way to switch up your usual chip routine.
Winter Root Veggie Chips
Thinly slice beets, parsnips, and carrots. Toss lightly in avocado oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake in a single layer until crisp. It's a colorful, homemade take on the classic chip.
Always Check Your Labels
Formulations change, so it's always smart to check the current label on any packaged snack, no matter which brand you're reaching for, to confirm it fits your dietary needs. Just because one product from a brand is made with avocado oil doesn't mean every product in that brand's lineup is formulated the same way, so it pays to double-check each specific bag. As for us, Jackson's snacks are always cooked with avocado oil, always vegan, and always made in a Top 9 allergen-free facility, so you can grab any bag in our lineup with confidence.
Snack Cozy, Snack Happy All Winter Long
Building a cozy winter snack stash doesn't have to be complicated. It's really about filling your pantry with options made with real ingredients and avocado oil, so every crunchy, comforting moment feels good too. As one of our customers, Sonya, shared: "With 3 kids always on the go between school and sports, these are a great convenient snack that my kids love." That's the kind of feel good snacking we're all about this season.
