This is such an easy and delicious snack that we have recently become obsessed with. It’s super easy to whip out, and since it is semi-healthy, we make it at least once per week.  You can add this as a side to your dinner, or eat it on its own.

This would also be a great alternative for those who love chicken wings but want to cut down on their meat intake.  If you are vegan, you can easily substitute all of the ingredients.
