Ingredients
Scale
Seasoning Mixture
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg white
- 4 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Italian Garlic Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Snack Mix
- 3 cups crunchy rice or corn squares cereal (such as Chex™)
- 2½ cups mini pretzel twists
- 2 cups fish-shaped cheese crackers
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the snack mix evenly.
- Mix Seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and egg white until combined. Then add the Everything Bagel Seasoning, Italian Garlic Seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce, whisking until the mixture is well blended.
- Combine Snack Ingredients: Add the crunchy rice or corn cereal squares, mini pretzel twists, and fish-shaped cheese crackers into the bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the coated mixture to a large rimmed baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake the snack mix in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to promote uniform crispiness and prevent burning.
- Cool and Store: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the pan. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container for storage, keeping it fresh and crunchy.
Notes
- You can substitute other seasoning blends if you prefer different flavor profiles.
- Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- Try adding nuts like almonds or cashews for extra crunch and protein.
- Be sure to stir the mix halfway through baking to avoid burning and ensure even crunchiness.
