10 snacks that are better than plain old chips-and-dip
1. Gluten-free air-fryer monkey bread
If garlic bread went to private school, this what the outcome would be! Not only is the dough gluten-free, but it is boosted with protein-rich lamb broth and is sure to satisfy a hungry crowd.
2. Chakalaka air-fryer pull-apart bread
Mzansi-approved cheesy pull-apart bread that’s air-fryer friendly – the perfect half-time snack to serve up!
3. Oven Crisp tostadas with avocado crema and pickled red onions
Minimal effort posh protein-packed tacos that use a freezer staple item in the best possible way, they’re a guaranteed crowd-pleasing snack.
4. Air-fried char siu pork belly bites
If you have never tried pork belly bites in the air-fryer, it’s safe to say you are missing out! But what we love most about this recipe is you need very minimal ingredients and the air-fryer does all the work, although the results taste like you slaved for many hours to make such tasty morsels.
5. Air-fried koeksister bites
They’re sticky, sweet and bite-sized, but even better than all that is how this cheat’s two-ingredient dough makes these koeksister bites really easy to make and even easier to devour!
6. Air-fried shallot and garlic hummus
Have the crudités ready because this hummus recipe is perfection. It’s also a great alternative to serve those who aren’t keen on the taste of raw garlic in traditional hummus.
7. Air-fryer chakalaka-loaded fries
A good snack round-up wouldn’t be complete without loaded fries, but because we’re rooting for SA we’re topping them with good old tinned chakalaka.
8. Marshmallow egg pastry puffs
They’re basically like s’mores but made with buttery crisp puff pastry in the air-fryer – so really what’s not to like?
9. Roasted butternut hummus
Ditch basic hummus for this hearty, flavoursome version! The butternut not only bulks up your favourite hummus recipe, making it perfect for feeding a crowd, but it also adds an earthy sweet butternutty-ness that you won’t soon forget!
10. Air-fryer Russians and chips
An air-fryer twist on a South African street food classic, this is a snack menu must! But don’t forgot the tomato sauce, mustard and atchar, because there is something magical about a saucy Russians and chip snacktuation!
