Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (240g) Chex cereal (rice or corn)
  • 1 cup (50g) mini pretzels
  • 1 cup (150g) dry roasted peanuts or mixed nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup bagel chips or broken pita chips (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) or set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups Chex cereal, 1 cup mini pretzels, and 1 cup dry roasted peanuts. Add bagel chips or pita chips if using. Stir gently to mix evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter, 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika if using.
  4. Pour the seasoning mixture over the dry mix and toss gently with a spatula or spoon until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or evenly in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 7 minutes to ensure even crisping. If air frying, cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from heat and let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet or in the air fryer basket to crisp up further.
  8. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

Stir the mix every 7 minutes during baking to prevent burning and ensure even crisping. Use olive oil for a clean flavor or melted butter for richness. For air frying, avoid overcrowding the basket for best crispness. Adjust seasoning to taste and add more after baking if desired. Store in an airtight container to maintain crunch. Reheat briefly to refresh crispness if needed.
