Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag of pretzels
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the lowest setting (around 170°F/75°C) to help dry and crisp the pretzels during seasoning.
- Open the bag of pretzels and pour them into a large mixing bowl with plenty of room for tossing.
- Measure the vegetable oil and drizzle it evenly over the pretzels, using a spatula or your hands to gently toss and coat each pretzel thoroughly.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and dried dill weed over the oil-coated pretzels, ensuring an even distribution of seasonings.
- Continue mixing and turning the pretzels gently to ensure every piece is well-coated with oil and seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned pretzels in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and let the pretzels dry and crisp for about 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Remove from the oven and let the pretzels cool completely at room temperature, which will help the seasonings adhere better.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to one week.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh garlic powder and dill weed. Fresh herbs can also be substituted for dried if you have them on hand.
- Coat Evenly: Make sure to toss the pretzels thoroughly with the oil and seasonings to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Oven Temperature: Keep your oven at a low temperature to avoid burning the pretzels. The goal is to dry them out, not to bake them.
- Stir Halfway: Stirring the pretzels halfway through the drying process ensures that they crisp up evenly and prevents any from getting soggy.
- Storage: For optimal freshness, store your seasoned pretzels in an airtight container. They can last up to a week, but trust us, they probably won't last that long!
