Ingredients
Scale
Pickle Pretzel Mixture
- 10 oz mini pretzels
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp dill pickle juice
- 1½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: pinch mustard powder or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil, dill pickle juice, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and optional mustard powder or red pepper flakes if using. Mix thoroughly to blend all flavors.
- Coat Pretzels: Add the mini pretzels to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss them well to ensure each pretzel is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to promote even crisping.
- Bake the Pretzels: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for a total of 45 minutes. Stir the pretzels every 15 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and achieve maximum crispiness.
- Cool and Store: Once baked, remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Store the cooled pretzels in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness. Enjoy your snack!
Notes
- Make sure to stir the pretzels every 15 minutes during baking to avoid burning and to crisp up all sides evenly.
- Allow the pretzels to cool fully before storing to keep them crispy.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of dill pickle juice or spices based on your taste preferences.
- You can experiment with other spices such as celery seed or smoked paprika for a different flavor profile.
