Finger Food and Snacks

Finger food is fun food! Whether you're having a party, watching TV, or trying to get your kids to eat a wider variety of foods, bite-sized snacks are the way to go.

French “Fries” Ⓥ

Although I call these French fries, it's a bit of a misnomer, as they are roasted rather than fried. They're very similar to the fried ones and every bit as good!

Fried Green Tomatoes Ⓥ

If you have unripe tomatoes available, make good use of them with this easy recipe for fried green tomatoes.

Fried Plantains Ⓥ

Plantains taste like bananas crossed with potatoes. Fried, they make a slightly sweet, starchy accompaniment to rice and beans.
