Ingredients

1 1/4 cups corn cereal squares (lowest sodium available)
3/4 cup bite-size shredded wheat cereal squares (lowest sodium available)
1/2 cup thin unsalted pretzel sticks
2 low-sodium bagel chips, broken into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup unsalted peanuts
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (lowest sodium available)
1 tablespoon honey mustard (lowest sodium available)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, stir together the cereal squares, pretzels, bagel chips, and peanuts.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, oil, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne. Stir into the cereal mixture. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

    Step 4

    Bake for 4 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack.
