Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Pork rinds
- 1 cup Unsalted mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1 cup Sunflower seeds
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and set out a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork rinds, mixed nuts, sunflower seeds, and shredded coconut. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce or liquid aminos, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the pork rind mixture in the large bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to gently coat everything evenly.
Spread the mixture out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even toasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to prevent uneven browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The mix will crisp up further as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the Bold and Low Carb Chex Mix Snax to an airtight container or resealable bag for storage. Enjoy as a crunchy, flavorful low-carb snack!
