This gluten free air fryer chex mix has all the savory, crunchy flavor of the classic snack with none of the gluten. A buttery Worcestershire coating gives it that familiar tangy flavor everyone loves. Best of all, the air fryer gets it done in a fraction of the time the oven version takes.
I love my air fryer because I can make things in a much shorter time. This gluten free air fryer chex mix recipe is no exception! Instead of spending up to 45 minutes with chex mix in the oven I can quickly mix it together and have it ready to serve.

I will use just peanuts. I’m allergic to walnuts. My daughter-in-law is allergic to almonds and my great-granddaughter is allergic to cashews, pistachios & walnuts.
