Anyone have any good vegan recipes for depo snacks?

I make these delicious roasted almonds.

Here's the recipe. It comes from the cookbook entitled: The Garden of Vegan

Spicy Maple Nuts

1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt (I use sea salt)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cup raw nuts (your choice: walnuts, pecans, almonds, et.) I love to use almonds

In a small bowl, stir the maple syrup, cayenne and cinnamon. In a large fry pan, (I use a wok) stir the nuts over medium-high heat for 2-5 minutes, or until they begin to look toasted. Stir in the maple syrup mixture and cook 15-30 seconds, or until liquid is evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool. Makes 2 cups.

This a super delicious recipe, especially in winter, that I use as a handy snack or I have even taken it to potlucks. It's quite the hit.

Let me know if you like this. And please post some of your favorite snack recipes.

A great snack for me is unsalted or lightly salted pistachio nuts (nice large ones at Trader Joe) or unsalted sunflower seeds, the large Israeli ones that I buy in a Greek store. Lara or Luna bars are good, too. Dark chocolate-covered edamame, also TJ, if I dare to buy it, works great too as a snack or even lunch if in a pinch. They're very fattening so I try not to buy them. But when starved and no time, man, do they hit the spot. And they're filling.
Sounds great. I love Trader Joe's. I am going to try the Dark chocolate-covered edamame!
That looks like a great recipe. Another great place to shop is the Whole Foods Store. Do you have one in your area? I have a great way to make cauliflour taste like pop corn. You just break 1 head of cauliflour up into crumbs, pour into a ziplock freezer bag. Add 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast, 1/2 tsp of sea salt and 1/2 tsp of garlic and shake it. Then you have raw pop corn.
i have both whole foods and Trader. I rarely go to Whole Foods; go to Trader a few times a month. What exactly is nutritional yeast? What brand do you like?

I love steamed cauliflower or broccoli and tossed with TJ EVOO and TJ white balsamic vinegar (Modena). So delicious. Need to use the Modena vinegar. Great flavor.
Wow, that cauliflower popcorn sounds great. I am going to do that.

Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast that is yellow in color. It has a cheese flavor kind of like Parmesan. It has vitamins and is rich in vitamin Bs especially B12, which a lot of the vegan types need. It is also a whole protein.

I usually buy it in the bulk section at health stores or co-ops. It's very popular as a popcorn condiment. It is also low in sodium.
I will have to buy this. Everything about it is for me! thank you!
