Potato chips are the favorite snack for many people. They are crispy, salty, and downright delicious. However, they are also loaded with carbs and unhealthy fats, making them a very bad choice if you want to keep a healthy diet. Luckily, there is a great low-carb alternative to potato chips that is just as delicious: onion chips. You can make them by yourself and they only require two ingredients.

How to Make Onion Chips

There are quite a few variations of onion chips out there, but we liked the one from TikTok food content creator Stella Drivas the most. Her take on this exciting snack is simple and straightforward.

To make the onion chips, start by peeling two larger white onions and then slicing them to 1/4 inch thickness. Make sure to handle the slices with care in order to keep all the layers together.

Next, place a parchment paper on a baking sheet and line it with shredded Parmesan cheese. You can also use other hard cheeses or experiment with a combination of multiple cheeses.

After that, cover the cheese with onion slices and then brush them with some olive oil. Sprinkle with seasoning like salt, garlic powder, and paprika.

Pop the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 400F and bake for roughly 18 minutes or until the onion slices become golden brown. The cheese will bake into the onion slices and you’ll get a delicious cheesy and crunchy snack that pairs excellently with all kinds of dips.

If you ask us, pasta shells are underrated. While most people think of them as inferior compared to macaroni or spaghetti, pasta shells actually have a lot of things going for them including their shape that holds sauces better. Also, they can be transformed into a tasty snack.

Food content creator Karo recently shared a simple recipe that sees her making pasta chips using pasta shells.

In her viral recipe, Karo takes a bunch of al-dente cooked pasta shells and puts them in a bowl. She then adds grated Parmesan, dried marjoram, dried oregano, paprika, freshly chopped garlic, and a splash of olive oil. You can also add some salt or pepper to taste.

After combining everything, Karo gives it a good toss until the pasta shells are thoroughly covered with other ingredients. She then lines them on a baking sheet and bakes at 350F for 20 to 30 minutes.

The results are amazing. You get a crunchy cheesy snack that you munch on straight away or combine with all sorts of different dips and condiments.

If you would like to try this cool recipe by yourself, check out Karo’s full video below.

If you wake up in the middle of the night or perhaps simply want something to snack on after dinner, then it’s important that you choose your food wisely. After all, you won’t want to eat food that makes you feel bloated and ruins your sleep. Here are some healthy nighttime snacks that you can enjoy that are conducive to sleep.

Walnuts or Almonds

Both of these nuts are filled with fiber, improving digestion, and antioxidants which reduce inflammation and pain. Walnuts, in particular, contain omega-3 fatty acids which are effective at inducing sleep while there is plant protein as well.

Smoked Salmon on Whole Wheat Crackers

Salmon is rich in both omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, making it effective at inducing sleep while also reducing salt cravings as you head to sleep. Put the salmon on crackers with some cream cheese for a tasty late-night snack.

Yogurt With Granola

Packed with calcium and protein, yogurt is nutritious and tasty, making for an ideal snack before bed. The Vitamin D and tryptophan found in yogurt will boost your heart and immune health while also helping to make you sleepy. The omega-3 in granola will also do well to put you at ease.
