Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 8
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted peanuts
- 1 cup spicy edamame (find them in the snack aisle or make your own)
- 1 cup lime-chili cashews
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional, adjust if avoiding)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1-2 teaspoons chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar or brown sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted peanuts, spicy edamame, lime-chili cashews, shredded coconut, and toasted sesame seeds.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), lime juice, chili flakes, and sugar until well combined.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the trail mix components in the large bowl, tossing gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Spread the mixture out evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the coconut is lightly toasted and the mix is fragrant.
- Allow the trail mix to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container for storage.
Helpful Tips
- Spicy Level: Adjust the chili flakes according to your preferred spice level. If it’s for kids, reducing the chili might be a good idea.
- DIY Spicy Edamame: Toss cooked and peeled edamame in a mix of olive oil, chili powder, and a pinch of salt, then roast at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.
- Citrus Variations: If lime isn’t available, lemon juice is a great substitute to add that zesty kick.
Storage Instructions
Store the Thai-Inspired Savory Trail Mix in an airtight container at room temperature. It should stay fresh for up to two weeks, making it a handy snack to have on hand.
