Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, etc.)
- 1.5 cups Mini pretzels
- 2 cups Chex cereal (any flavor)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese crackers
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts, mini pretzels, Chex cereal, and cheddar cheese crackers.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the seasoning mixture over the snack mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss everything until the mix is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the coated snack mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure everything is in a single layer for even baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Step 7
Remove the sheet from the oven and let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet. The snack mix will become crunchier as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the cooled mix into an airtight container or serving bowl and enjoy. Store leftover mix at room temperature for up to one week.
