Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Goldfish crackers
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper optional

Instructions
 

  • Gather the ingredients: Measure the Goldfish crackers, mini pretzels, melted butter, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Mix the seasoning: Combine the melted butter, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until blended.
  • Coat the crackers: Add the Goldfish crackers and pretzels to a large bowl. Gently toss until evenly coated with the seasoned butter mixture.
  • Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) if your model requires preheating.
  • Air fry: Spread the snack mix in a relatively even layer. Air fry at 300°F for 3–5 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through. Check frequently to prevent overbrowning.
  • Cool and serve: Transfer the snack mix to a plate or baking sheet and let it cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

 
  • Cook at 300°F and check frequently because crackers can brown quickly.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
  • Let the snack mix cool completely before storing to help preserve its crunch.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place and enjoy within 3–5 days for the best quality.
  • Refrigeration and freezing are not recommended because moisture can soften the crackers.
  • Optional additions include extra cheese crackers or other sturdy crunchy snacks.
