While today is the Super Bowl, there are many times that people reach for chips (potato chips, Cheetos, Fritos, or other “junk food” chips or crackers) because it’s a routine snack. The big problem with any of those more popular chips or crackers is that
1) they are full of salt, fat (because they are fried),
2)poor nutrition (hence the name JUNK FOOD),
3) other additives that cause high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.
All of those elements are really bad for your body.. and often people put on weight or have increased their blood pressure or cholesterol levels just because they feel like there are no other options out there.
I found a snack that I absolutely love and it’s really healthy. This snack is crispy, tasty, and healthy because it’s primarily veggies that are dressed up with some spices and a few nuts here or there. The brand is DIRT KITCHEN SNACKS!!

While I know you are prepping for the Super Bowl, you still have time to check the website and find stores near you that carry Dirt Kitchen Snacks. You do have time to get to the market to buy these snacks. It’s a great way to get young children to learn to think of veggies as snack material and not just a food that gets pushed around a dinner plate!
We all know vegetables are good for us. (and some are great because most veggies have vitamins and minerals that are very healthy!) But do most of us find them irresistibly delicious? While you might have said that they are maybe your third or fourth choice, I found a veggie snack that is really 1) good for you and 2) it tastes great!
Introducing Dirt Kitchen Snacks, a new brand of plant-based snacks that has done the unexpected — they made veggies snackable, crave-able, and portable.
All these packages you see in the photo above are filled with a selection of vegetables that have been air-dried (and some are very crispy!) and flavored with some herbs or spices so the veggies aren’t bland or boring. Not only will you like them but your kids (or grandkids) and friends will like them. Once someone tastes them, I have found that people fall in love with these veggies because they are colorful, easy to eat, crunchy and healthy!
At Dirt Kitchen Snacks, the brand is all about finding great mixes of veggies and spices along with a few nuts or crispy bits. They feel that the best things in life come from the dirt. That’s why we air-dry real, recognizable veggies like green beans, zucchini, peppers, carrots, and tomatoes and then combine them with other plant-based ingredients like herb, spices — and sometimes nuts — for a “snackably” delicious experience. The resulting products are Air Dried Veggie Crisps ( these are very crispy and they taste great!) and Air Dried Veggies + Nuts.
Both come in three different varieties, are non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, and have no artificial flavors.
The Air Dried Veggies + Nuts come in:
● Carrots + Zucchini + Roasted Peanuts
● Zucchini + Roasted Chickpea + Pistachios
● Green Beans + Roasted Almonds
While the Air Dried Veggie Crisps, which use farm surplus in order to help reduce food waste from farms, come in:
Grape Tomatoes, Zucchini, and Blush Bell Peppers!
Each bag of veggies -whether the mix of veggies and nuts or the air-dried veggie crisps has a nutritional breakdown for you so that you know exactly what’s in every bag.
This photo immediately below is the nutritional information for the Air-Dried Zucchini. The breakdown is typical for the Air-Dried Veggies.
The photo immediately below is the nutritional breakdown for the green beans and nuts mix.
Each of the Dirt Kitchen Snacks has this nutritional information so that you know that everything you are eating from Dirt Kitchen Snacks is healthy, tasty, and good for you.
Here’s another suggestion from Dirt Kitchen Snacks on how you put together a great array of food including Dirt Kitchen Snacks for the Super Bowl as well as any other event you feel warrants this kind of tray!
I love the Dirt Kitchen Snacks. I found every flavor to be great. My child who is an extremely picky eater loves the air-dried veggies. She’s doesn’t like nuts in any form, but she likes Dirt Kitchen Snacks! My husband loves these snacks– all of them. I have seen him go through 4 bags in one movie.
The funny part about this post is that I found out about Dirt Kitchen Snacks in early 2020 (before the Pandemic) when I went to a couple of different markets and found the Dirt Kitchen Snacks. I bought 3-4 bags of each flavor-because I wanted to have these in my desk drawer so that I didn’t reach for candy or cookies. I wanted a snack that tasted good and was good for me. I shared them and the bags vanished quickly. I bought more and thought it would make a great piece for this blog. Then… surprisingly (before I got the post done), the Dirt Kitchen Snack people contacted me about the brand And they sent me a few more bags of their veggie snacks. What’s not to love about tasty, crispy veggie snacks!
Dirt Kitchen Snacks are available to purchase online and at select locations in Los Angeles. You can buy direct from the brand!
