Baked Vegan Chex Mix Snack with Nutritional Yeast

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300℉ (150℃) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.

Step 2

In a large bowl - or right on the baking sheet - combine the chex, o's, pretzels and nuts.

Step 3

Stir the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika together in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the cereal mix. I don't typically add salt but if you really want a flavour bomb, you could add in ¼ teaspoon (1 mL) salt too.

Step 4

Stir the soy sauce and hot sauce into the melted butter and drizzle evenly over the cereal mix. Stir the mix well with a spoon to ensure there is almost no dry seasoning left on the baking sheet. Takes a minute or two.

Step 5

Bake for 45 - 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes so it bakes evenly. It's done when it looks mostly dry. I find 45 min is typically enough but if you decide to add extra butter to make it richer, you might need up to 60 min.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet to a cooling rack and let cool at least 10 minutes before enjoying. If storing, you want it to cool completely then place in an airtight container and leave at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
