Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups Chex cereal
- 1 cup pretzels
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). This will ensure that your Chex Party Mix bakes evenly and gets that perfect crunch.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 3 cups of Chex cereal, 1 cup of pretzels, and 1 cup of mixed nuts. Stir these ingredients together gently to ensure they are evenly mixed.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder. This mixture will serve as your flavorful coating.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the cereal, pretzel, and nut mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, ensuring that everything is well coated.
- Once everything is thoroughly mixed, spread the mixture evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps with even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Make sure to stir the mixture every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
- After 30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it to crisp up further.
- Once cooled, transfer the Sesame Ginger Chex Party Mix to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy your delicious homemade snack!
Tips
- Choose Your Nuts Wisely: Feel free to customize the mixed nuts based on your preference. Almonds, cashews, or pecans can add unique flavors to your mix!
- Watch the Oven: Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the mix to prevent it from burning. Stirring every 10 minutes is key to achieving that golden brown color.
- Let It Cool: Allow the Chex Party Mix to cool completely on the baking sheet after baking. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch!
- Storage Matters: Store your mix in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and crunchiness. It can last for up to a week—if it lasts that long!
- Add a Kick: If you like a little heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the soy sauce mixture for an extra kick.
- Serving Suggestions: This mix isn’t just a snack; it can also be a great topping for salads or soups, adding a delightful crunch and flavor boost.
