Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice cereal squares, corn cereal squares, gluten-free pretzel sticks, almonds, cashews, and sunflower seeds. Toss them together gently to mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the avocado oil and vegan Worcestershire sauce to the dry spice mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the cereal mix in the large bowl, stirring gently to ensure even coating.
Spread the seasoned party mix evenly on two large baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking.
Once the mix is golden and aromatic, remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheets.
Once cooled, transfer the Vegan Savory Party Mix to a large serving bowl or store in airtight containers for up to two weeks.
