How to make Turf mix

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan) or 170°C (conventional).

2. In a large bowl, toss together the rice cereal, wasabi peas, rice chips, snap pea crisps, and coconut chips.

3. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and toss gently to coat.

4. Transfer the mixture to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and warmed through.

5. While the snack mix is baking, wipe out the bowl and set it aside.

6. In a spice grinder or mini food processor, pulse the SeaSnax, garlic powder, lime zest, cayenne pepper, salt, sugar, and 60 ml of dill until finely ground, shaking or scraping down the sides as necessary.

7. Once the snack mix is out of the oven, transfer it to the reserved bowl in three batches, sprinkling each batch with about one-third of the dill-seaweed mixture as you add it.

8. Gently toss the mixture with your hands until it is thoroughly coated; it should be warm but cool enough to touch.

9. Allow the mixture to cool completely before serving.

10. To serve, top with additional dill if desired.

Do Ahead:

The mix can be made up to 5 days in advance. Let it cool, then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
