Ingredients for Garlic Ranch Pretzels
- 1 (16 oz.) bag broken sourdough pretzels
- 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix (or 1 packet)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon & pepper seasoning
- 3/4 cup cooking oil (I use vegetable, but you can also use olive oil)

- large mixing bowl
- small mixing bowl
- spouted glass measuring cup with handle
- measuring spoons
- mixing spoons
- large rimmed baking sheet/pan
- spatula
Getting Started
Preheat your oven to 225 degrees.
Empty the entire bag of pretzels into your large mixing bowl. Break up any really large pieces with your hands.
Next, mix all the dry seasonings together in a small bowl.
Measure the cooking oil in a spouted measuring cup. Then add the seasoning to this measuring cup and stir well. The seasonings will naturally want to sink to the bottom of the cup, so it is important to mix this thoroughly so you don’t end up with a clump.
Pour the oil mixture over the pretzels. Use a large mixing spoon to mix. Spend a little bit of time here to make sure all of the pretzels are coated with the oil and seasonings. This is really important because if some of the pretzels don’t get coated, they will dry out in the oven, and we don’t want that!
Now it’s time to create some pretzel magic!
Line your large rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty foil (I do this for easier clean up). Then 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. Trust me: you don’t want to let any of that goodness go to waste!
Now bake those pretzel beauties in your preheated 225 degree oven. They will bake in there for 1 hour. Every 20 minutes, stir them gently with a spatula. Stir them once more when they are done, then allow them to cool on the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a container.
Storing Garlic Ranch Pretzels
These seasoned pretzels won’t last for long! Try them with your favorite adult beverage– or simply by themselves. Your taste buds will be delighted either way!
Store in an airtight container. Enjoy within one week. No need to refrigerate (pretzels taste best when stored at room temperature).
A Note About This Recipe
I have always been obsessed with flavored, seasoned pretzels.
When I first discovered Snyder’s of Hanover’s flavored pretzel pieces several years ago, I was in heaven. So when my MIL introduced her Garlic Ranch Pretzels recipe to me, I was blown away. I didn’t know that making your own could taste so good–and even better–than the store bought ones!
Don’t get me wrong, I still love buying flavored pretzels (especially Snyder’s) but this delicious, easy recipe was definitely a game changer!

Note
I use vegetable oil for this recipe, but feel free to experiment with different cooking oil varieties.
I often use Hidden Valley Ranch's dry seasoning mix, but have also tried Great Value's version from Walmart. Both taste good in this recipe.
You can buy any brand of sourdough pretzels, but I strongly suggest trying to buy broken ones. It cuts out a lot of the grease work!
