Choose a snack to suit the occasion: crackers, roasted chickpeas, vegetable bites, a dip, polenta fries or a no-bake bar. Several need cooling, chilling or precooked ingredients before they are ready to serve.
1. Gluten-Free Carrot Cake Energy Bites
Carrot, oats and coconut are rolled into no-bake snack bites. In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free rolled oats, shredded carrots, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
2. Gluten-Free Cauliflower and Herb Crackers
Cauliflower and herbs flavor thin crackers. Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up before breaking into individual pieces.
3. Gluten-Free Roasted Chickpea and Za’atar Snack Bites
Chickpeas are roasted with za’atar seasoning. Mix well to coat all chickpeas evenly with the seasoning blend.
4. Gluten-Free Cauliflower Tater Tots with Garlic Aioli
Cauliflower tots are served with garlic aioli. Once cooled, transfer the cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
5. Gluten-Free Mediterranean Roasted Eggplant Dip (Baba Ganoush)
Roasted eggplant and tahini are blended into baba ganoush. Remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool slightly until comfortable to handle.
6. Gluten-Free Savory Black Garlic and Herb Polenta Fries
Black garlic and herbs flavor polenta fries. Slowly whisk in the gluten-free yellow cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
7. Gluten-Free Cucumber and Dill Yogurt Dip with Crudités
Cucumber and dill flavor a yogurt dip served with vegetables. Place the grated cucumber in a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth and gently press to remove excess water.
8. Gluten-Free No-Bake Chocolate Tahini Energy Bars
Chocolate and tahini are combined in no-bake bars. Fold in shredded coconut flakes and crispy puffed quinoa (or puffed millet) until evenly distributed.
9. Gluten-Free Cheesy Cauliflower Polenta Bites with Herbed Tomato Sauce
Cauliflower-polenta bites are served with an herbed tomato sauce. Gradually whisk in the gluten-free cornmeal to avoid lumps.
10. Gluten-Free Coconut Lime Energy Balls with Pumpkin Seeds
Coconut and lime flavor snack balls with pumpkin seeds. In a food processor, combine shredded coconut, rolled gluten-free oats, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.
Choose what to make
Compare crisp crackers and roasted chickpeas with soft no-bake bites. The yogurt and eggplant dips need something to serve alongside; the polenta snacks require their mixture to be prepared before shaping.
