Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Shreddies cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Cheese-flavored crackers
- 1 cup Unsalted cashews
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Shreddies cereal, mini pretzels, cheese-flavored crackers, and unsalted cashews. Toss gently to mix.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the Shreddies mixture in the large bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the snack mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. The mix should be golden and lightly crisp when done.
Remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet. The mix will become crunchier as it cools.
Transfer the cooled snack mix to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy as a savory, Italian-inspired snack!
