Why This Recipe Works

Instead of reaching for processed chips, you can create:

  • A fiber-rich snack
  • With controlled oil
  • And customizable flavors

Ingredients

  • Leftover chapatis
  • Olive oil
  • Chili powder, cumin powder, oregano, garlic powder

Method

  1. Cut chapatis into triangle shapes.
  2. Lightly brush with olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle spices evenly.
  4. Bake or air fry until crisp and golden.

Healthy Topping Options

Upgrade your nachos with:

  • Fresh vegetable salsa (tomato, onion, coriander)
  • Yogurt-based dip (mint or garlic)
  • Boiled chickpeas tossed with spices

Dietitian Tip:

This snack balances:

  • Carbs (chapati)
  • Protein (chickpeas/yogurt)
  • Fiber (vegetables)

Smart snacking is not about avoiding food, it’s about upgrading it!
