There are tons of variation possibilities here. Instead of cheese and italian seasoning try some cinnamon sugar OR smoked paprika. This is a recipe that the grown-ups as well as the kids in my house really enjoy. It also does well on the go.
2 10-inch whole wheat pita rounds
Vegetable oil spray
2 teaspoons parmesan cheese powder
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cut pita rounds into small triangles, approximately 12 pieces per round.
Pull breads apart at the fold and arrange in a single layer on baking sheet. Spray lightly with oil.
Bake for 10-15 until slightly golden. Allow to cool slightly on baking sheet.
The only thing annoying about this recipe is that the yield is on the low side. You end up with somewhere around a sandwich bag full of chips and they go rather quickly.
1 sweet potato
Vegetable oil spray (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Slice potato very thinly with mandolin. If you don’t have a mandolin, don’t bother with this recipe.
Arrange slices individually on parchment lined baking sheets. If desired, spray vegetable oil lightly over parchment paper and again lightly on top of chips once they are laid out on baking sheet.
Bake for 15-25 minutes until chips are curling and almost entirely dried out. Chips will crisp up a bit more as they dry. Serve cooled chips or store in air tight container.

This cookie recipe comes close to not being allowed on this blog because calling a healthy snack is just wrong. A lot of the time when I take a normal cookie recipe and reduce the sugar and fat it feels so much healthier than what I could have made and through some magical transformation it becomes “healthy” or a “healthier version”. Anything to justify heath bar. Yum!
1 1/2 cup white whole wheat all purpose flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 1.4 ounce Heath Bars, chopped into small bits
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In medium bowl, whisk together flours, flaxseed, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
In large bowl, cream butter with rubber spatula. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix until batter starts to stick together and form a ball. Add Heath Bar bits and mix into dough.
Scoop dough with a cookie scoop onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges just start to brown and the tops are set. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
