Ingredients
- 16 ounces mini pretzels
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix (dry powdered)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Place the mini pretzels in a large mixing bowl for coating.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the seasoned oil mixture over the pretzels in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or clean hands to gently toss the pretzels until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned pretzels in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping too much for even baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Step 7
Remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them crisp up further.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a spicy snack!
