Hot Dog

The hot dog is a classic, but how about adding a special touch? Swap the sausage for flavorful smoked sausage. Slice onions and let them brown in the skillet. Then, add the sausages for an extra flavor boost. To make it easier, prepare the cut bread and leave the toppings, like ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and potato sticks, so everyone can build their own snack. Simple, quick, and delicious!

Guacamole

Guacamole, a delicious Mexican delicacy, is gaining more and more fans in Brazil. Serve with the famous tortillas (corn snacks) that you can easily find in the supermarket. This quick recipe is full of flavor and perfect to accompany those snacks. To prepare, mash 3 ripe avocados with a fork and mix in the following chopped ingredients: 1 medium tomato in cubes, 1/2 cup of white onion, 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, 4 tablespoons of lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Finish with salt to taste. Serve with corn tortillas, which are easily found in supermarkets.

Chicken Skewers

Depending on the image, it can also be called snack sticks. First, cut 500 grams of chicken breast into strips, mix with 1 container of fat-free natural yogurt, salt, and pepper to taste. Let it marinate for 1 hour. Then, coat the chicken strips in a mixture of oats and sesame seeds and place them on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven (at 180ºC) for about 40 minutes. Serve with barbecue sauce, ketchup, or your preferred sauce.

French Fries

French fries are a guaranteed hit, even for those on a diet, as they can be baked in the oven or made in the AirFryer. That is, practically effortless! How about adding a special touch to this recipe by adding cheese and bacon? Start by frying the bacon. Cut it into small pieces and fry until crispy. No need to add oil. For a more practical version, you can also prepare it in the microwave to keep it dry. Then, grate the mozzarella cheese or cut it into thin slices. Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into strips, and then fry them. After frying, place the fries on paper towels to remove excess oil. Once they're nice and dry, add salt and mix well. Transfer the fries to an oven-safe dish, cover with grated cheese, and place in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Finally, sprinkle the chopped bacon over the cheesy fries and serve. To make preparation even quicker, you can choose pre-cut and frozen fries, which are ready to fry and available in supermarkets.

Crispy Chickpeas

This snack can be prepared in advance. Season the cooked chickpeas with sweet paprika, cumin, and salt, and bake them for about 40 minutes until crispy. Remember to check them occasionally so they don't become too hard. If you prefer to vary the seasoning, feel free to experiment. Even a simple mix of salt and pepper is enough to make them very tasty.

Mix of Dried Fruits, Seeds, Nuts, and Peanuts

Looking for an even easier and quicker snack? Just mix Japanese peanuts, raisins, sunflower seeds, cashews, almonds, apricots, and even chocolate candies for a special touch. You can combine two or more ingredients, and believe me, it turns out delicious and is a sure choice. More practical than this snack is only microwave popcorn... and why not?

Tapioca Bites

How to prepare: Start by heating the milk in a saucepan, add salt and pepper to taste, and then incorporate the tapioca. Stir until it reaches a creamy texture. Then, add the grated cheese and mix until melted. Remove from heat and pour into a rectangular mold. Let it cool in the fridge for about 40 minutes, then cut into cubes. If you prefer to fry, heat the oil and fry until golden. For a lighter option, you can also bake them: just place them in the oven at 180ºC for about 45 minutes or until crispy and golden. The tapioca bites are even more delicious when paired with jams, honey, cream cheese, margarine, or butter. A popular option is to serve them with chili jelly.
