  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Make the party mix
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, add the roasted chickpeas, roasted fava beans, almonds, corn nuts, pretzel sticks. Don't add the cheddar crackers yet.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dill, lemon pepper, black pepper, cayenne, and flaky sea salt.
  4. Pour the seasoning over the dry mix and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly across the baking sheets in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring once halfway through, just until warmed through and fragrant.
  7. Let cool completely so it crisps up fully, then add the cheddar crackers at the end. Toss to combine.
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy with prosecco, wine, or your favorite cocktail.
Crispy roasted fava beans (optional, homemade)
  1. Soak dried split fava beans in water for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Drain and dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Toss with olive oil and salt.
  4. Roast at 400°F for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  5. Let cool completely before using. Beans will crisp up as they cool.
