Notes
- We love Homemade Ranch Seasoning mix, as it's 100% natural, with no preservatives nor additives. However, you can use 3 oz. store-bought Ranch seasoning packets if you prefer.
- Make sure all your ingredients are labeled as gluten-free to keep the entire recipe free of gluten.
- Feel free to swap the almonds for your favorite nuts, and if you have a nut allergy, simply omit them altogether.
- This recipe is easily doubled or triple if you're making it for a crowd, just use additional baking sheets and rotate them in the oven for even cooking.
- Stored in an airtight container, Gluten-Free Chex Mix will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. We don't recommend refrigerating it, as it will lose its crunch.
- If you'd like to add M&M's or chocolate chips, allow mixture to fully cool before adding them.
