Healthy snacks recipes for good health are needed by children and adults as well. Adolescence children tend to eat more and crave for food in between their regular meal.

I roast nuts for family snacks eg. almonds, hazelnuts or mixed nuts.

I do homemade popcorns too, it's actually very simple to do.

Once in a while I make agar agar, milo popsicles, edamame, sushi balls, roast salmon skin, baked potatoes and bread sticks.

Snacks off the supermarket shelves my girls are only into raisins, but I will rinse off the sugar coating before they stuff into their mouths.

I pass fruits to my kids as snacks after they come back from school. Its one of the more healthier options out there.

Use a small oven toaster, those from Best Denki. Don't need to pre-heat toaster, or else nuts/seeds would burned. Line aluminium foil in the toaster, spread them on a aluminium foil and use the low heat. For bigger nut like almonds, spread them wide apart.... for seeds like pumpkin seeds you can roast more at one go. The aroma would tell if it's done.

Transfer to kitchen paper towel and wait for it to cool down completely before adding salt (if you like) and storing in jar.

Add some raisins and dried fruits into the jar, shake and serve :drool:

Another way is to fry, with low heat in dried pan/wok, no oil required… keep turning til it’s done; quite labor intensive but tastier… frying is the best method for peanuts.

Thanks harlequin! The roasting of nuts seems do-able for a noob cook like me heh. Btw where would be a good place to get raw nuts?
