Savory Vegan Chex Mix

This easy homemade Vegan Chex Mix is made with savory flavors of onion, garlic, and smoked paprika. Great for snacks, parties, holidays, etc.

Vegan Chex Mix is a tasty snack for watching games, holiday parties, road trips, and more.

This flavorful version is made with bold flavors of onion, garlic, and smoked paprika. Crunchy, savory, and so delicious!

This blend can also be made gluten free. Simply use gluten free pretzels (I use either Snyder's or Glutino brand) and tamari.

It comes together with only about 5 minutes of preparation.

How to Make Vegan Chex Mix

Important note: it was kindly brought to my attention that General Mill's Chex cereals in the U.S. contain D3 which is typically derived from lanolin (sheep's wool). Therefore it's not 100% vegan (as of this writing).

So if you are in the U.S. be sure to look for an alternative, vegan-friendly chex-like cereal for this recipe.

Ingredients

• 3 cups corn chex cereal
• 3 cups rice chex cereal
• 1 1/2 cup pretzels (GF if desired)

• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp. salt (more/less to taste)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 250°F (121°C).
• In a very large mixing bowl, add chex, pretzels, and nuts.
• Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. When melted, add tamari, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir. (Feel free to test the salt level by dipping one of the chex.)
• Immediately after stirring the butter mixture, pour it over the chex mix.
• Gently stir for 1-2 minutes to thoroughly combine.
• Place on a baking pan, and spread evenly.
• Bake for about 1 hour (or more if desired), stirring every 15 minutes.
• Let cool and store in an airtight container.
