Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) bag pretzels
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet Ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix (I use Hidden Valley brand)
  • ¾ teaspoon sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper, or more to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Spray an extra-large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.

  • In a large measuring cup, bowl, or jar, add the oil, Ranch seasoning, sugar, garlic powder, dill weed, and cayenne. Shake or whisk until completely combined.

  • Pour the seasoning over the pretzels. Gently toss so that all of the pretzels are well coated (I use my hands for this!). Spread in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Notes

  • Stir the mix while it’s in the oven. This will help the pretzels toast evenly and will prevent individual pieces from burning.
  • Make a double batch so that you have plenty of pretzels to share with friends and family.
  • Line the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end for an extra boost of flavor and a bright, fresh touch. Good options include parsley, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Let the pretzels cool completely before packaging.
