    About this ebook

    Whip together a treat, savory or sweet, to satisfy your cravings, with 125 effortless Betty Crocker Kitchens-approved recipes

    When life gets too busy to sit down and have a meal, it's tough to come up with anything that's quick, easy, and completely satiating. Betty Crocker Snacks is filled with ideas for quick and inventive treats, both savory and sweet, that can come about even in the tightest of schedules and still deliver on fun and taste. This compendium of grazing goodies is organized by time spent in the kitchen—from 30 minutes to an astonishing 10 minutes. For a super-quick breakfast, Iced Oat "Milk" Chai Latte or a Cold-Brew Yogurt Pop takes the same amount of time as hitting the snooze button. A friend coming over last minute? Throw together Oven-Baked Curry Chicken Taquitos or Mediterranean Watermelon Fries with Creamy Feta Dip in less time than it takes to boil an egg. And before you finish a TV episode, have Spinach-Feta Naan Pizzas and Italian Carrot "Fries" ready on the table. Fun features help you customize your favorite bites, like energy balls, and teach you how to make your own oat milk.

      Inspiring America to Cook At Home™

      v2.0321

      Dear Nibblers,

      There are so many delicious reasons to snack! Snacking is perfect if you are eating smaller meals more frequently, rather than three squares; it can be a super strategy for getting more fruits and veggies in your diet; or, when your tummy tank hits empty, snacking will cover you until mealtime.

      Maybe you’re looking for something to munch while binge-watching your favorite show, or perhaps you want to bring a treat to a party. Whatever the reason, snacks are what we reach for. But all those snack purchases from grocery stores, drive-throughs and gas stations can drain your debit card—fast. Plus, there can be a lot of unwanted ingredients that come along for the ride in pre-packaged snacks.

      Making your own snacks can save you money and provide exactly the ingredients you’re looking for, such as protein, greens or your favorite indulgence. Or making your own can help you skip the things you’re trying to avoid, such as dairy, gluten or high-calorie ingredients. You can choose something to fit your craving, whether it’s savory or sweet, spicy, crunchy or even chocolatey and ooey-gooey.

      So, let’s meet in the kitchen and satisfy those snack cravings right now!

      Sincerely,

      You’ll find all these types of recipes inside:

      Gluten-Free, Vegetarian and Vegan Cooking

      What is Gluten?

      Whether you have a gluten sensitivity or you just choose to avoid things with gluten, here’s what you need to know to cook or bake gluten free. Gluten is a protein that naturally occurs in certain grains like wheat, barley, rye and some oats. But foods that are naturally gluten free can contain gluten if they have been processed in a plant with foods that contain gluten or were made in a kitchen with utensils that have been used with gluten-containing foods. That’s where it can get a little tricky.

      Is It Gluten Free?

      In the gluten-free recipes in this book, we’ve specifically called for gluten-free ingredients where they aren’t naturally gluten free. Many products will say gluten free somewhere on the label, but many do not—and you can’t be sure if they contain any gluten. Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change. If you’re unsure if it’s gluten free—call the manufacturer.

      Common Ingredients That Can Contain Gluten

      Gluten-Free Tips

      Keep Separate For those who are gluten sensitive, keeping things separate matters. It’s necessary to keep a dedicated space for storing ingredients for cooking gluten free, as well as a separate space for storing cutting boards and utensils such as rubber scrapers and metal spatulas. Because it’s hard to completely remove any gluten residue from these kitchen items, gluten-free foods can easily become contaminated with gluten with even the tiniest bit left on a utensil or countertop—and that can have a detrimental effect on those who are sensitive to gluten.

      Pan Prep Grease pans with solid shortening or use cooking spray that doesn’t contain flour.

      Liquid Absorption Gluten-free doughs may absorb liquids differently than wheat dough, so be sure to follow directions carefully.

      Dough Handling Gluten-free doughs tend to be sticky. Wet or grease hands to prevent the dough from sticking.

      Is It Done Yet? Gluten-free baked goods often look done before they actually are, so follow the doneness directions given, in addition to bake time.

      Vegetarian and Vegan

      There are several types of vegetarian diets, ranging from the least-strict food choices (occasionally eating fish and seafood, poultry or meat) to the strictest food choices (omitting dairy products and all fish, seafood, poultry and meat). A vegan diet follows the strictest vegetarian diet while also omitting eggs and any product made from an ingredient that is animal based.

      Understanding Ingredient Choices

      Look for vegetarian and vegan recipes through this book. We call specifically for vegan or organic ingredients where necessary, as some may use an animal-based ingredient in processing: Dairy-based ingredients such as yogurt, sour cream and pudding may contain gelatin, and some Parmesan cheese is made with animal rennet, which wouldn’t be vegan. Recipes labeled vegan in this book are also, by default, vegetarian.

      Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegan or vegetarian. Products and ingredient sources can change.

      Jalapeño-Everything-Seasoned Parmesan Crisps

      Prep Time: 10 Minutes • Start to Finish: 25 Minutes • Makes: 12 crisps

      ¾ cup (3 oz) shredded Parmesan cheese (12 tablespoons)

      1 teaspoon sesame seed

      1 teaspoon poppy seed

      ½ teaspoon garlic powder

      ½ teaspoon dried minced onion

      1 medium jalapeño chile or mini bell pepper, thinly sliced

      1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray.

      2 Spoon level tablespoons of cheese into 12 mounds on pan. Spread each mound into 3-inch circle.

      3 In small bowl, stir remaining ingredients except jalapeño. Sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon seed mixture evenly over each cheese circle. Top with jalapeño.

      4 Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute; carefully remove from pan and cool on cooling rack at least 5 minutes.

      1 Crisp: Calories 30; Total Fat 2g (Saturated Fat 1g, Trans Fat 0g); Cholesterol 0mg; Sodium 85mg; Total Carbohydrate 0g (Dietary Fiber 0g); Protein 2g Exchanges: ½ Lean Meat Carbohydrate Choices: 0

      Change It Up: Look for red and green jalapeño chiles and use a combination of both for a colorful presentation. If you don’t like heat, use mini bell peppers instead.

      Kitchen Secret: Wear gloves when cutting chiles, as the oils can burn your skin and your eyes, if you touch your hands to your eyes.

      Kitchen Secret: Not only are these a yummy snack, but they also make a delightful accompaniment to your favorite soup or salad. Or you can make them a few hours ahead to serve as a delicious cocktail party appetizer.

      Kitchen Secret: These crisps need to cool at least 5 minutes to allow the cheese to firm up, for easy pickup without crumbling.

      Jalapeño-Everything-Seasoned Parmesan Crisps

      Salsa-Avocado Cheese Snacks

      GLUTEN FREE    VEGETARIAN

      Salsa-Avocado Cheese Snacks

      Prep Time: 10 Minutes • Start to Finish: 10 Minutes • Makes: 2 servings (3 tortilla chips each)

      6 round tortilla chips (from 13-oz bag) or other large tortilla chips

      6 (¼-inch-thick) slices extra-sharp cheddar cheese (from 8-oz package)

      2 tablespoons salsa

      2 (¼-inch-thick) slices avocado, cut into thirds

      Fresh cilantro leaves

      1 Arrange tortilla chips in a single layer on a microwavable plate. Top each chip with 1 cheese slice; microwave uncovered on High 10 to 20 seconds or until cheese melts.

      2 Top with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.

      1 Serving: Calories 180 (Calories from Fat 110); Total Fat 12g (Saturated Fat 6g, Trans Fat 0g); Cholesterol 25mg; Sodium 320mg; Total Carbohydrate 9g (Dietary Fiber 1g, Sugars 0g); Protein 7g Exchanges: ½ Other Carbohydrate, 1 High-Fat Meat, 1 Fat Carbohydrate Choices: ½

      Change It Up: Raid your fridge! Salsa verde or Buffalo wing sauce can be used in place of salsa. Pepper Jack, Monterey Jack, Colby–Monterey Jack or even American cheese would also be fabulous. Add a bit more protein with cooked shrimp, thinly sliced cooked chicken breast or cooked bacon—yum!
