Cajun Spiced Snack Mix
Author: The Blue Jean Chef, Meredith Laurence
Serves: 10 cups
This snack can get pretty spicy! So, customize it to your spice level by adjusting how much of the Cajun or Creole seasoning you use. No Cajun seasoning on hand - no problem! I've got you covered - you can make your own!
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Cajun or Creole seasoning
- 2 cups mini wheat thin crackers
- 2 cups peanuts
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 4 cups plain popcorn
- Cajun Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat air fryer to 370ºF.
- Combine the melted butter and Cajun spice in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, combine the crackers, peanuts, pretzels, and popcorn. Pour the butter over the mixed snacks and toss evenly to coat the mixture.
- Air-fry the snack mix two batches. Place half of the snack mix in the air fryer basket and air-fry for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly toasted. Toss the basket several times throughout the process for even cooking.
- Transfer the snack mix to a cookie sheet and cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to one week, or place in gift bags with tags and ribbons for gift giving.
