I saw my doctor recently and while talking about what a lazy fat-ass I am, he mentioned something about replacing the crap I usually snack on with healthier snacks like seasoned air-fried cauliflower or something like that. So what are your favorite healthy-ish snacks that can be made relatively quickly when I feel like shoving food in my face for no reason other than boredom and force of habit?

This is the type of thing I was hoping for. Something savory or spicy. Any particular recipes?

This works for peas and you don't need a recipe. Put boiled peas in an air-fryer to crisp them up a bit. Then sprinkle on whatever spices you like. Can add lemon, or sauces or whatever you like. Experiment as you like. Just be careful not to make it unhealthy by drowning it in sauce.

You could do the same with cutting aubergine into thin slices and making them crisp in an airfryer or oven and making "chips" out of them.

I don't follow any particular recipe tbh (and just buy them from the snack section at the store half the time lol), but basically you just want to get them really dry before frying https://basilandbay.com/crispy-chickpeas-3-flavor-options/ there's a few recipes you can find online that detail the process :3 for spices I just kinda eyeball salt,.pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin sometimes

I'd imagine some of the popcorn seasonings you can get would work well, too... Might try making them at home, I've gotten a bag of them pre-made before and liked them. Don't have an air fryer, but I'd imagine a toaster oven would probably work well
