Method
- 1
Combine Chex, pretzels, nuts, and crackers in a large bowl.
- 2
Mix melted butter with Worcestershire and all seasonings. Pour over the snack mix and toss until evenly coated.
- 3
Air fry at 300°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking every 3-4 minutes for even toasting.
- 4
Spread on parchment to cool — it crisps up as it cools.
- 5
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Pro tip. Low temperature is key — high heat burns the cereal before the nuts toast. Shake frequently for even coating. The mix looks soft when warm but crisps up perfectly as it cools.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 12 minutes. The same dish takes about 19 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
