Sweet & Savory Pretzel and Nut Snack Mix
A salty, sweet, savory mix of pretzels and nuts. Make this for holiday parties or wrap it up for cute little stocking stuffers and gifts!
Ingredients
- 4 cups pretzel twists I used Newman's Own Spelt Pretzels
- 4 cups raw nuts of choice I used a combination of pecans, cashews, and almonds
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons finely diced fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (for easy clean-up).
- 2. Put all ingredients into a large bowl, and stir well to combine. Dump onto the sheet pan, and spread out in an even layer. Be sure to scrape any remaining liquid/spices from the bowl onto the snack mix before baking.
- 3. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir. Bake 10 more minutes, or until pretzels and nuts are golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pan before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
This recipe yields 8 cups of snack mix- feel free to double and bake on two sheet pans for a larger batch. You may need to increase the baking time by about 5 minutes, and should plan to rotate the pans (so the one on the top moves to the bottom and vice versa) after you take them out to stir at the 15 minute mark.
