The Best Seasoned Pretzels
Description
The Best Seasoned Pretzels combine broken sourdough pretzel pieces with a rich olive oil mixture infused with Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and dill weed. After tossing thoroughly, the pretzels bake at 350°F for a total of 25 to 30 minutes with occasional tossing, ensuring even coating and a crispy, flavorful finish. The herbs and spices add layers of savory and citrusy flavors that complement the sourdough base.
The result is a crunchy, seasoned snack with a savory, tangy profile. These pretzels can be enjoyed on their own or offered as a tasty accompaniment to dips or cheese boards. They keep well stored in an airtight container for at least a week, making them convenient for snacking over several days.
For freshness beyond a week, storing in the refrigerator is recommended. The key to their crispness lies in even coating and thorough baking with tossing, which helps the seasoning to penetrate the pretzel pieces evenly.
Ingredients
- 2 (16 ounce) sourdough pretzels bags, broken into pieces
- 1 ⅔ cup olive oil
- 1 (1 ounce) Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Mix package
- 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dill weed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Break the pretzels apart into bite-size pieces and place them in a large bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the olive oil, ranch seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic powder and dill until combined. Pour the oil mixture over the pretzels. Toss over and over until combined - you can even use your (clean!) hands to bring everything together.
- Spread the pretzels out over the baking sheet, continuing to mix and combine. There will be some extra oil on the bottom of the sheet, just continue to toss.
- Bake the pretzels for 15 minutes. Toss well. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes. Toss again and let cool completely. Store in a resealable bag or container. These last for at least a week! If you’d like to keep them even fresher, you can store them in the fridge.
