Veggies don’t have to be relegated to the side dish. Veggies make great snacks! We’re not talking chomping on a raw carrot (though you should feel encouraged to do so), we’re talking about making some delicious savory bites for between meals and movie nights. Pretty much anything vegetable can be spun into a snack creation with a little oil and a well-timed sprinkle of salt – we’ll try to make anything into chips, and usually it works!

Here are some ideas for ways to snack, Field Goods style: 
1. Blackened green beans: basically keep cooking these babies until you think, “oh gosh, have I gone too far!?”
2. Potato chips: no brainer, use a mandoline for uniform thickness and try sea salt and dried herbs on ’em.
3. Buffalo cauliflower bites: these are our favorite snack ever, apologies to all other snacks. Quickly bread, bake, dunk in Frank’s Red Hot, bake again, and eat the entire bag of buffalo cauliflower in one sitting. Or, you know, exhibit some self control – we heard that’s a thing. Whatever.
4. Carrot fries: We’ve tried a LOT of different fries (parsnip, potato, kohlrabi, celeriac, etc.) and it’s such an easy, fun approach to veggie consumption. Don’t forget! Fun is an essential ingredient in all recipes and life in general.
