Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 5 cups mini pretzels (twists or sticks)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried dill weed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, dill pickle juice, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt until the mixture is fully combined and well blended.
- Coat Pretzels: Add the mini pretzels to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly with the seasoned oil mixture.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated pretzels in an even single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even baking.
- Bake and Stir: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and to ensure the pretzels become dry and crisp all over.
- Cool and Store: Remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving or storing them to maintain their crispiness.
Notes
- These pretzels make an excellent snack for parties, game days, or road trips.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
- For a stronger dill flavor, you can double the amount of dill pickle juice.
- As a variation, try using ranch seasoning instead of the dill and spices for a different taste twist.
