33 Examples of Hearty Snacks

From Crispy Zucchini Bites to Stacked Anti-Pasti Sandwiches

— October 2, 2014 — Lifestyle
Hearty snacks are the perfect thing to tide you over between meals. These in-between times can be tricky to navigate: You're definitely hungry, but you're not quite ready for a full-size meal just yet. What do you do? Opt for something small, but substantial enough to keep your tummy from grumbling.

So what's a bite-size option that packs a punch? Take these Crispy Zucchini Bites, for instance. The fried snack is covered in Japanese Panko crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dip one into the accompanying spicy Sriracha Greek yogurt dip, and you've got yourself an ample snack.

Ultimately, a hearty snack is something that gets you more bang for your buck -- and all in a delightfully small package to boot!
