This way of making popcorn will change your life. Well, not really, but it will change the way you make popcorn! No need to buy those overpriced (and not to mention wasteful) prepackaged microwave popcorn bags. You can do it yourself with much more healthy and enjoyable results. Top off your popcorn with some nutritional yeast for an added protein boost and cheese-like flavor.

The perfect accompaniment to a meal, or a healthy snack on its own, these kale chips are easy, fast, and healthy. Smoked paprika and truffle salt give added depth of flavor, but don’t feel like you have to use those spices. Add some heat with some red pepper flakes or cayenne, maybe sprinkle on a little cheese if you so desire. Just make sure to keep an eye on these while they’re in the oven as they tend to burn fast!

These polenta pizzas work equally well as a great appetizer or main course and are dead easy to make to boot! You just need some precooked polenta tubes, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and walnuts (and whatever other toppings you’d like to add to the mix). Simply slice up the polenta tube into rounds, lay them out on a baking pan, pile on the toppings, and bake. The caramelized red onions mixed with the sun-dried tomatoes add a subtle sweet flavor and the walnuts add texture and some bitterness.

Shishitos are so delicious, but enjoy with caution! About one in 10 of these little peppers is spicy. The seeds tend to be the spiciest part so avoid those if you can’t handle a lot of heat. Serve alongside a little dish to discard stems and seeds.

Granola and banana bread, separately, are easy crowd pleasers, so it seemed obvious (to me) to combine them. This granola recipe bakes up in big batches and can be jarred and stored for weeks, if not eaten by the handful first. I like to use dehydrated banana slices in this recipe, as they’re softer and more tender than crisp banana chips. If you prefer them crisp, banana chips are the way to go.

Do you know the Muffin Man? If you do, you may want to tip him off to these delicious vegan treats. Chocolate and banana are a match made in culinary heaven, while the addition of granola brings in an earthy and necessary crunch. Breakfast never tasted so good (or healthy)!

Cauliflower is having a culinary moment. Whether it’s riced, grilled, steamed, or roasted, chefs around the globe have found innovative and delicious ways to present broccoli’s versatile cousin. Baba Cool’s roasted cauliflower with tahini and goji berries is no exception, offering the perfect balance between sweet and salty while honoring the smokiness of roasting-induced char and spicy turmeric. Planning a vegan dinner? This dish would make a perfect vegetable side dish.

Crunchy and spicy are the two things I love most in food. These baked chickpeas are both, plus a tasty and healthy snack. Just toss them with a little olive oil and some spices, then roast in the oven until crunchy. They’ll stay crispy for a few days stored in a resealable bag at room temperature.

Say you made a big batch of Big Brother slop (just go with it) —you might get tired of eating it in bowls, no matter what garnishes you’re piling on. So here’s a recipe for Lemon Chive Waffles that works in about a cup of slop (or call it oatmeal, if that’s more appealing). The waffles get a nutritional boost and a bit of texture, while remaining light and fluffy from the addition of whipped egg whites, and bright with lemon zest and juice.

Don’t believe a sweet treat featuring slop could be delicious? Think of the secret ingredient as oatmeal instead and you’ll understand just how good these chewy peanut butter chocolate chip cookies (featuring a hefty dose of butter, of course) really are. Use the cookies to make Big Brother Ice Cream Sandwiches.

The crunchy deep-fried cabbage is dressed in an umami-rich sauce with sweet, sour, and spicy notes from pineapple juice, lemon juice, honey, and chili vinegar, then topped with freshly shucked oysters for a briny, minerally contrast. The furikake garnish is a traditional Japanese mix of sesame seeds, seaweed, salt, and sugar, as well as some sort of dried fish, often bonito, which is sprinkled over rice, vegetables, and other dishes for an extra boost of sweet-savory flavor.
