Ingredients

• 16 oz (1 standard bag) Mini pretzels
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 packet (1 oz) Ranch seasoning mix
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried dill
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed to form a smooth seasoning oil.

Step 3

Add the mini pretzels to the bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to toss the pretzels in the seasoning oil until they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping too much for even baking.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring the pretzels every 15 minutes to ensure they are evenly toasted and coated.

Step 6

Remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The seasoning will dry and adhere as they cool.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container for storage. They will stay fresh for up to one week (if they last that long!).

Step 8

Serve as a standalone snack or alongside dips like cheese or mustard for extra indulgence.
