🥘Ingredients
- broken sourdough pretzels- to save time, buy a bag of already broken pretzels
- dry ranch seasoning mix-all you need is one packet
- garlic powder- for added savoriness
- lemon & pepper seasoning- enhances the flavor experience
- cooking oil- I use vegetable, but olive oil can also be used
Getting Started
See recipe card below for more detailed instructions.
- Place the broken pretzels in a large bowl.
- Next, mix all the dry seasonings together in a small bowl.
- Measure the cooking oil in a spouted measuring cup. Then add the seasonings to the cup and stir well.
- Pour the oil mixture over the pretzels. Use a large mixing spoon to mix.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty foil or parchment paper. Spread the pretzels onto the baking sheet in a single layer so that they're not overlapping. Drizzle any remaining liquid from the bowl over the pretzels.
- Bake for 1 hour; stir every 20 minutes for best results.
Hint: When coating the pretzels, thoroughly mix to make sure that all of them are covered with the seasoned oil. This is really important because if some of the pretzels don't get coated, they will dry out in the oven.
