Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (peanuts, almonds, cashews)
  • 1 cup sturdy potato chips, broken into large pieces
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or neutral oil

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter or oil with dill pickle juice (or dried dill), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the dry mix, tossing gently to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly onto the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 45–50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  7. Let the mix cool completely to finish crisping, then store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Add cayenne or red pepper flakes for extra heat.
  • Mix in nutritional yeast or cheddar powder after baking for a cheesy twist.
  • Use oil for a vegan version; add vegan cheese powder if desired.
  • Enhance flavor with crushed dill pickle chips after baking.
  • Substitute nuts with extra pretzels or seeds for a nut-free option.
