Ingredients
- 10 oz mini pretzels
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp dill pickle juice
- 1½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: pinch mustard powder or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Mix Seasoning: In a medium bowl, combine the vegetable oil, dill pickle juice, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and if desired, a pinch of mustard powder or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Coat Pretzels: Add the mini pretzels to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure each pretzel is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange Pretzels: Spread the coated pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping for even baking.
- Bake: Bake the pretzels for 45 minutes at 250°F, stirring every 15 minutes to promote even crisping and prevent burning.
- Cool and Store: Once baked, allow the pretzels to cool completely on the baking sheet. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh, if any remain.
Notes
- Stirring every 15 minutes during baking ensures even coating and prevents sticking or burning.
- For extra zing, try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or mustard powder as optional spices.
- Cool the pretzels thoroughly before storing to maintain crispiness.
- This recipe is perfect for a snack or party appetizer and can be made ahead of time.
- Use good quality dill pickle juice for the best flavor impact.
