Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 10 oz mini pretzels
- 1½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: pinch mustard powder or red pepper flakes
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp dill pickle juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare the seasoning mixture: In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil, dill pickle juice, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and optionally, mustard powder or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat or extra flavor. Mix well to blend all the flavors evenly.
- Coat the pretzels: Add the mini pretzels to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure every pretzel is evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the coated pretzels out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This helps them bake evenly and become crispy.
- Bake and stir: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes total, stirring every 15 minutes to promote even cooking and crispiness on all sides.
- Cool completely: Remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool fully on the baking sheet. This final step helps them achieve maximum crunch.
- Store properly: Once cooled, store the pretzels in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Enjoy as a tangy, crunchy snack anytime.
Notes
- For a spicier snack, add a larger pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Ensure pretzels are dried after coating before baking to get maximum crispiness.
- Use fresh dill pickle juice for the best tangy flavor.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- They make a great party snack or gift when packaged nicely.
