HOMEMADE RANCH SEASONING (DRESSING MIX)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and mix well. Place in an airtight container and store up to 6 months.

HOMEMADE RANCH MIX

Steps:

• Whisk buttermilk powder, chives, parsley, dill, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, lemon peel, sugar, and oregano in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

RANCH SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250˚ F. Combine the buttermilk, onion and garlic powders, dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Combine the cereal, crackers, chips, almonds and sesame sticks in a large bowl and toss.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Pour about half of the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss, then pour in the remaining butter mixture and toss again until everything is well coated and there is no butter at the bottom of the bowl. Add half of the spice mix and toss to coat.
• Spread the cereal mixture on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dry, crisp and lightly toasted but not browned, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss with the pretzels and remaining spice mix. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.

SPICY RANCH SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk powder, dried parsley, dried chives, dried dill, dry mustard, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder. (This is a homemade dry ranch seasoning mix which you could also treat like the packet and stir into sour cream or Greek yogurt for a quick dip!)
• In a large bowl, combine the pretzel snaps, Cheddar bunnies, oyster crackers, sriracha peas and white Cheddar balls.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet (or the microwave) and stir in the sriracha.
• Drizzle the butter mixture over the snack mix and toss with the seasoning mix and Parmesan. Spread on the prepared baking sheet and bake, tossing once or twice, until everything is dry and toasted, about 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
