Tuscan Kale Chips
Kale chips > potato chips. Roasting Tuscan kale makes the texture crispy the flavor nutty and briny.

Crispy Curry-Roasted Chickpeas
All of the crunchy satisfaction of a chip and a whole lot healthier: these crispy chickpeas are the ideal after-school snack. Bonus: You can roast them in big batches to share all week long.

Edamame Hummus
If there's one snack that's almost too easy to DIY, it's hummus. Go beyond chickpeas as the base and use edamame to brighten up the color (and somebody's afternoon).

Sticky and Sweet Popcorn
The smells of caramel and the sticky, warm taste of the popcorn kernels may be the perfect after-school snack. Don't have too many—you have to save room for dinner!
