Tips for making whole grain vegan nachos
Vegan whole grain nachos are a healthy snack with spreads, vegan cheeses, hummus, or guacamole. Tip: When cold, store them in an airtight jar. This will help them stay crisp and not absorb moisture.
Whole-grain homemade nachos made from rice flour and chickpeas are a permitted snack for those who have gluten intolerance. In addition, due to their high content of vegetable fiber, they are also allowed for diabetics and in weight-loss diets.
