A zesty, snackable blend of rice cereal, pretzels, cheese crackers, and peanuts tossed in tangy ranch seasoning. Perfect for parties or on-the-go eating.
Ingredients
5 cups rice cereal (like Rice Chex)
2 cups pretzels
4 cups cheese crackers
1 cup raw peanuts
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp paprika
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine rice cereal, pretzels, cheese crackers, and peanuts.
Create ranch seasoning by mixing salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, paprika, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
Add vegetable oil to the snack mix, then gradually toss in ranch seasoning until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway, until lightly golden and fragrant.
