    This tasty peanut butter leaves a little tingle on the tongue thanks to a sprinkling of cayenne. While it makes an addictive PB&J, try adding it to a smoothie for a zippy kick or thin with a little hot water and use as a dip for vegetables.

    Directions

    01

    Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).

    02

    On rimmed baking tray, spread out peanuts and coconut ribbons in a single layer. Toast in oven, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and light brown, about 10 minutes.

    03

    While warm, transfer peanuts and coconut to food processor fitted with steel blade attachment. Process until crumbly and clumpy, about 1 minute. Add cayenne, paprika, salt, and coconut sugar. Process, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until peanut mixture transforms into a smooth paste, about 5 more minutes. Add a little coconut oil if needed. Transfer to airtight jar and keep refrigerated for up to 1 month.

    Snack: Sweet Potato Yogurt Bowl

    If you enjoy a savoury snack, look no further than this yogurt bowl. Protein- and probiotic-rich yogurt is topped with spiced sweet potatoes, pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of olive oil and cilantro. A little prep goes a long way toward making this a convenient and satisfying snack. Cook the potatoes in advance so the bowl can be quickly assembled at snack time. Savoury Spiced Sweet Potatoes Peel and dice 1 medium-sized sweet potato. Toss in bowl with 1 Tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cumin, and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) hot Spanish paprika. Cook in preheated air fryer for 10 minutes at 350 F (180 C) or on parchment-lined baking tray for 25 minutes in 375 F (190 C) oven. Allow potatoes to cool and then store, covered, in fridge for up to 4 days. Makes enough for 4 servings. Adaptation inspiration Take this idea and make it work with other convenient savoury toppings such as canned chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, or cucumbers.
