Fool’s Gold BBQ Chips

 

Sometimes the best part of the meal is the sides. In fact, I even prefer going to parties where there’s no main dish, just a plethora of appetizers. The tricky part about sides is that they can be so easy to mindlessly snack on (guilty!) You sit down to watch the latest Netflix binge-worthy TV-show and grab a bag of chips, and before you can press “next episode” the entire bag is gone! We have all been there, am I right? So, does this mean the only way to stop this is to avoid these snacks all together? To not keep them in the house at all? While that may work, it probably isn’t realistic and it leaves no room to enjoy the foods we all love and crave. Instead try this solution –  we’ve made a lighter, plant-based version of a cult-classic – BBQ potato chips! Not only will you be sneaking in some extra veggies, but you can afford to indulge in a few more handfuls. We are giving you 4-ways to enjoy this recipe. You can make all four types in a single batch, or pick your favorite! Simple, classic and delicious recipe for sharing (or not).
