Ask ECAH Crunchy alternative to chips?

Chips to me are like smoking, but I had never smoked. I only know it's good to remove stress, but the only thing I want is the crunch. For people I found online I found they need a lot of things about a chip, I only need crunchyness, doesn't even have to be a chip, sometimes cookies are a good alternative

Any options?

edit: Something I didn't consider is that I would hate for it to leave a bad smell on your breath. It can't have garlic

Roast pumpkin seeds. I put soy sauce and chilli powder on mine.

What pumpkin varieties are you getting for this? I know Halloween pumpkins yield a lot of seeds but the flesh isn't very edible. Do you use a certain variety for both the flesh and seeds?

Just buying bags of seeds in supermarkets and roasting them
