Savory Chex Mix

Why This Snack Mix is Good

This homemade snack mix is a crunchy, savory treat that’s perfect for parties, road trips, or just snacking at home. The combination of bagel chips, Rice Chex, and Wheat Chex gives a delightful mix of textures, while the seasoning blend of Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoned salt provides a burst of flavor. Baking it at a low temperature ensures every piece is coated and baked to perfection, resulting in a delicious, addictive snack.

How to Make It Healthier

• Use Whole Grain Options: Choose whole grain bagel chips, Rice Chex, and Wheat Chex for added fiber and nutrients.
• Reduce Sodium: Opt for a low-sodium Worcestershire sauce and seasoning salt (Mrs. Dash) to cut back on salt intake.
• Cut Back on Oil: You can reduce the oil to 2-3 tablespoons and add a splash of water to help distribute the seasoning if you want a lighter version.

Substitutions

• Bagel Chips: Swap with whole-grain pita chips, pretzel sticks, or even popped popcorn for added variety.
• Chex Cereal: Feel free to use Corn Chex, Multigrain Cheerios, or even unsweetened puffed rice cereal for a different texture and flavor.
• Worcestershire Sauce: Substitute with soy sauce or coconut aminos if you want a different flavor profile or need a gluten-free alternative.
• Goldfish: Goldfish bring a wonderful salty and cheesy addition to chex mix.

Additions

• Nuts: Add a handful of almonds, cashews, or peanuts for an extra crunch and a boost of protein.
• Spices: Add a pinch of smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or dried herbs (like rosemary or thyme) to enhance the flavor.
• Seeds: Toss in sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for an additional nutrient boost.
