It's time for everyone to start building Snack City in your freezer for 2023. Snack City in my neck of the woods was wearing thin so I prepped these Jalapeño Cheddar Broccoli Bites, Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites, and Chicken Fries. Here are links to the recipes:

I have been using ZWILLING knives for years and their Fresh & Save Vacuum bags for Snack City for almost a year now so when they reached out and asked if I wanted to collaborate, it was an easy yes. The Fresh & Save Bags and containers are perfect for this Stir Fry application.

As a tax paying citizen of Snack City (became a member of your website) I'm glad to see some renovating taking place

@UltraGalacticSuperFantastic Год назад

I really appreciate your smaller details, like saying you cut it in X many rows by X many columns, or including grams as well as teaspoons. These are solid recipes with clear explanations...which is oddly rare in the cooking world.

Glad it was helpful 😎😎

Crumpling parchment paper just changed my life. Thanks man .

2:02 I made your chicken nuggets with crushed up tortilla chips as breading after I realized I had none of the other options. To this day my daughter says they were the best nuggets she's ever had.

@Hollenross Год назад

I got an ungodly amount of broccoli from my aunt because her store couldn’t sell it cause it was slightly yellowed, still perfectly good. I plan on making your broccoli bites tonight as one of the many ways to use up an entire shelf’s worth of broccoli.

@nasteho6614 Год назад

It’s soo weird how we got conditioned to buy produce in specific shapes and colors. Every time I see a double chined strawberry I look at it like an alien marvel . I was in my mid twenties when I learned that carrots come in colors other than orange 😂😂😅🤯

@schoo9256 Год назад

Subscribed purely because your instructions are amazing, you explain why you do stuff in a particular way, and you accommodate for people who dont have every kitchen appliance. You also give ingredients in grams and temperatures in celsius, instead of assuming the only people watching this will be using American units. I can't tell you how refreshing that is. I don't mind looking up a recipe but I hate doing unnecessary maths. (I'm a statistics student, I like *necessary* maths lol)

@MelissaCapriotti Год назад

The pancakes bites look great for a weekday quick breakfast too! Thanks for the recipe!

@TheMealPrepManual Год назад

They are cheaper than real eggs where I’m at and it’s not even close haha. $9.99 at Costco for 6 cartons and a dozen of the cheap eggs at the store was $5.50 the other day 🥶🥶

@christineb8148 Год назад

You can take another sheet pan of the same size you spread your chicken or broccoli mixture and "stack" it on top of the mixture, pressing or squishing it into a very even layer, instead of trying to even it out by hand. You might have to use another piece of parchment or some water on the back of the top pan to prevent sticking, but it saves time and gets you an even layer to cut up into uniform portions. Also, depending on your specific goals for the nutrition of the recipe, you can use finely grated hard cheese like pecorino or parmesan as part of the fry breading. The fat in the cheese helps crisp it up and it adds a lot of flavor.

@Esandeech2 Год назад

We’re getting the keys of our house in may. The kitchen has a nice and big oven so I can’t wait for these sheet pan recipes. Snack city here i come.

canadian maple syrup is dogass

@rachelmel Год назад

Nothing beats real maple syrup. You'd have to have been raised on junk with no taste to think otherwise 😜.

@Hollenross Год назад

@@rachelmel I hated real maple syrup growing up. As an adult, I’ve changed a lot of things about my diet including real maple syrup(and never letting my own kid try the fake junk), soda water with fruit rather than sprite or mt dew, and eating more simple deserts. Now my daughter and I both can’t take the sugar added “maple syrup.” Actually the other day we were volunteering and they had soda and I had a headache. I grabbed a mt dew for the caffeine and was shocked how syrupy and hard to drink it was. People are raised on junk and our taste buds 100% enjoy what they’re used to. This is why I always try things 3-5 times before deciding whether or not I hate it. For everything except pate it’s been a “I just needed to adjust, this is good actually” experience.

@wink14304 Год назад

Try putting the sheet rack directly on the oven rack. Better air circulation. Put tin foil on other rack and place it at the bottom to catch drips.

@chsovi7164 Год назад

I made the broccoli bites a while ago and they were surprisingly good! Was hesitant to eat them because of how much they smelt of broccoli lol but it wasn't that big of a deal. Made the pancake bites too (sans choc chips), but wasn't much of a fan. I imagine if they had choc chips they would prob be better but I'll wait till I eat them all to try again lol. I think my favourite recipe on this channel was the pizza bites. Lots of effort but totally worth it. I could easily finish the whole batch in less than half the time it took to make them, but I made sure to make them last.

@ifiseethisad1moretime326 Год назад

hey, quick question have you ever made or had sambuusa? its great for the snack city community. Its basically just meat with a thin crust and if you add veggies or potatoes it with tastes 100 times better. Just don't add Cauliflower. because lets be honest, Cauliflower is just broccolis inbreed cousin.

I was looking for a great meal prep snack for trips in my RV (Van). These are great recipes,,,,unfortunately, air fryers take up a tremendous amount of space and are not conducive to RV travel. I suspect the broccoli and muffins won’t work on the stove top or in the microwave. But I’m thinking the chicken might work if quickly fried in some Avocado oil on the stove top.

He actually preps the muffins in the microwave, and I bet the broccoli would work if you did it in a pan!

Is the Zwilling blender comparable to the Vitamix? As a fellow vegetable hater, I am looking for a good blender to make kale not feel like I am drinking green water with hait in it, but a Vitamix is a little outside my price range. Loving these snack city videos, will check these out on the website

@bartiz12 Год назад

Project Farm performed pretty thorough testing of blenders, Nutribullet came out at 2nd place for 1/6 of price of Vitamix, might be worth a shot. Also, Blendtec is a brand often compared to Vitamix, though their basic models have 2 year warranty (not 10 year) and seem to be a quality compromise.
