These roasted and spicy chickpeas are super easy to make and you can store them as long as you want, or as long as you don’t devour them in one go!

4. Crispy Eggplant/Sweet Potato Chips

If you have an oven, you can turn all your fave veggies (even tomatoes!) into crispy chips. Since these chips are baked and made out of vegetables, they are completely healthy too! You just have to prep the chips, place them in the oven and forget about them for half an hour! You can add your favourite flavours and spices to your homemade chips and snack guilt-free.
