Recipe FAQ
- → How can I make these bowls vegan?
Simply use vegan mayo or hummus as a dip instead of sriracha mayo. Double-check all toppings to avoid animal-based ingredients.
- → What crunchy toppings can I swap in?
Try adding wasabi peas, pita chips, crumbled nori, or your favorite crispy snacks for extra crunch and flavor.
- → Are these snack bowls gluten-free?
For gluten-free options, ensure rice puffs or cornflakes are certified gluten-free before adding to the bowls.
- → Can I add more protein?
Grilled tofu or shredded chicken (for non-vegetarians) are great protein boosts that complement the crunchy vegetables.

Start with the veggie base, then add crunchy toppings, finish with garnishes and a sprinkle of salt for eye-catching bowls.

Spicy sriracha mayo, tangy yogurt dip, or classic hummus work well. Choose based on your flavor preference and dietary needs.
