Craving a delicious midday munch, but need to be mindful of your allergies? Get ready to dive right into our best gluten-free snacks. In addition to being easy to prepare, most of these also come with nutritional benefits. We rounded up our favorite gluten-free snack ideas to take on the go, serve to the kids after school, or enjoy at your next gathering.
Gluten-Free Tex-Mex Cheese Dip
Thankfully most corn tortilla chips are a gluten-free snack, making it the perfect companion for this cheesy dip. Here we've combined cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise with corn, beans, and peppers. Make sure you buy taco seasoning (or make your own) that's also gluten-free.
Gluten-Free No-Bake Peanut Butter-Oat Bites
These poppable gluten-free snacks are a perfect energizing, high-protein treat to power through that midday slump. Make sure you grab rolled oats specifically labeled gluten-free at the store, as some can get contaminated with wheat and other non-allergy-friendly ingredients.
Air-Fried Buffalo Cauliflower
Kick off your game day with a pile of our vegetarian buffalo "wings." to add to your football party recipe ideas. The gluten-free snack gets nice and crispy in your air-fryer, making it a healthier option for everyone. Serve with your favorite gluten-free ranch or bleu cheese dressing.
Peppered Kale Chips
If you're not a big fan of kale, maybe these gluten-free chips can change your mind. Roasting kale in a bit of oil and seasoning achieves a crunchy snack that's way healthier than that bag of potato chips. We even like them as a soup topper!
Hummus 4 Ways
Luckily hummus is naturally a gluten-free dip. Keep the base recipe handy, then whip up one of the delicious variations including beet, lime-avocado, bell pepper, and squash. Serve with gluten-free pita chips or your favorite veggie dippers.
Easy Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Get your milk ready! This might be one of the best gluten-free snacks you'll ever taste. Whether you're allergic to wheat or not, the easy 3-ingredient recipe will quickly become a favorite.
Extra-Easy Spiced Kettle Corn
This easy gluten-free snack is about to become your new favorite movie night companion. All you have to do is toss microwave kettle corn with a spice mixture of sugar, salt, and garam masala. Its sweet and savory flavor will have you coming back for multiple handfuls.
How to Store Gluten-Free Snacks
Unless you’re getting store-bought gluten-free snacks (which are carefully packed and sealed to avoid cross-contamination), you’d want to store your homemade gluten-free snacks in a dedicated area separated from regular snacks or food. This includes your pantry closet, refrigerator, or freezer.
If possible, you may want to buy food storage containers or releasable bags specifically for your gluten-free snacks, that way you’ll prevent any gluten-containing crumbs from triggering any
allergies in your household.
