Ingredients

• 16 oz Pretzel twists
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried dill

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pour the pretzel twists into a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are evenly spread and accessible for coating.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, and dried dill until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Drizzle the seasoned oil mixture over the pretzels in the mixing bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly until all the pretzels are evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 5

Spread the coated pretzels out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even flavor distribution and crispness.

Step 7

Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The pretzels will crisp up as they cool.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container for storage. These pretzels can be enjoyed immediately or stored for up to a week.
