Many health-conscious snackers are finding themselves reaching for better-for-you alternatives like carrot and beet chips or even crispy mushroom snacks like this one from Trader Joe's. The Crispy Crunchy Champignon Mushroom Snacks are light and airy with a crunchy outside and a soft-baked feel inside. The mushroom slices are only enhanced with a few simple ingredients like salt and oil for seasoning, since the mushrooms share a rich umami flavor of their own.
The earthy snacks are ideal for savory snacking straight out of the bag but they could also be added to other recipes like soups and salads for an extra layer of crunch. The snacks are appealing as replacements for popcorn or potato chips, or even a crispy and crunchy snack that sits outside of the norm.
