SEE HOW EASY THIS PIZZA TRAIL MIX IS TO MAKE:
I actually didn’t have plans to make a pizza trail mix originally, but while whipping up the peanut butter and jelly trail mix recipe I spotted the bag of sun-dried tomatoes in the pantry and the idea immediately came to me. I’ve never seen sun-dried tomatoes used in trail mix, but I was pretty sure they would work well for a savory mix. With the idea for a savory mix in mind, I searched my spice cabinet and was quickly drawn to spices and herbs you typically find on pizza like garlic, onion, oregano, basil and thyme. I started with those then added nutritional yeast. The nutritional yeast is critical — it gives the mix a cheesy flavor and really makes it taste like pizza! If you’re new to nutritional yeast, check out my notes about what it is and where to buy it on my Garlicky Kale Salad post. I like pizza but I’m not usually drawn to pizza flavored things so I was expecting to like this mix, but wasn’t expecting it to be one my absolute favorites. Turns out, I was wrong. I can’t get enough of this savory mix. Everyone who’s tried it has really liked it as well. My trusty trail mix taste-tester, Alyssa, said this one was her favorite as well! So there ya have it, if you only try one of the mixes from Trail Mix Week, I highly recommend trying this one. You won’t regret it.
