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. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.
