Cinnamon Sugar Roasted ChickpeasSweet, crunchy, cinnamon-y, protein-packed and oh so delicious, this will be your new go-to snacks, I guarantee.

You can even try out different flavor combos if sweet snacks are not your thang. If you've checked out my ebook, Sweet Simple Vegan: Lunch and Dinner, I shared my favorite variation of these, crunchy chili chickpeas, paired with my detox soup! If you haven't checked it out, you can find it here.

Date-Sweetened Apple Pie Granola (oil- & gluten-free)Fall is here! I have been all pumpkin crazy lately, but then I remembered, APPLES! ...So how about them apples? Date-Sweetened Apple Pie Granola (oil- & gluten-free)My apple tree wasn't quite ready for me to steal some of its goods, so I just stuck with some organic apples I had on hand. I used fuji apples for this recipe, but feel free to use your variety of choice! This recipe is perfect for breakfast or a snack (or lunch or dinner, no one will judge you after they taste this!) You can even try sprinkling this on top of smoothies, or even my raw apple rose caramel tart or my raw vegan pumpkin pie. It will be amazing, trust me, DO IT..

beet chips The first time I ever tried beet chips was at the Hollywood Farmer's Market here in LA on Sundays. I sampled a ton of different beet chips, sweet and savory, and I fell in love. The chips were definitely overpriced, but at the time I did not have a dehydrator and assumed that that was the only way I could get my hands on these beautys. Well, I was wrong! This recipe uses the oven and will get you the same delicious and crispy beet chips that I fell in love with. I know that most of you do not have dehydrators, so I created a recipe that we all can make! If you DO want to use a dehydrator, review the note on the recipe just in case :)

Leftover Lentil Sandwich Bread + Avocado ToastLeftover Lentil Sandwich Bread + Avocado Toast The other day when my mom and I were making my Quinoa, Lentil and Arugula Salad together, we got a little carried away in our conversation and we forgot about our red lentils cooking on the stove. If any of you have ever cooked red lentils, you will know that they will turn into mush if overcooked. We were going to make the salad with red lentils for the first time but, well, that didn't happen. Leftover Lentil Sandwich Bread + Avocado Toast
