Description

Baked hard pretzels seasoned with lemon pepper, dill, and garlic powder. You will not be able to stop snacking on these!


Ingredients

  • 1216 ounces (340–454g) hard pretzels
  • 3/4 cup (180g/ml) oil (vegetable or olive)
  • 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
  • optional: additional spices, see Notes


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the oil and seasonings.
  3. Break the pretzels into pieces. Place them in a large zipped-top bag or in a large bowl. Pour the seasoned oil over the pretzels. Shake or stir thoroughly; you want every piece coated very well. 
  4. Spread the pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet. If they don’t all fit in a single layer, use two lined baking sheets. Bake for 50–60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  5. Store completely cooled pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. They won’t last that long!

Notes

  1. Special Tools (affiliate links): Baking Sheet | Silicone Baking Mat or Parchment Paper | Whisk | Liquid Measuring Cup | Glass Mixing Bowl
  2. Additional Spices: (1) Sometimes I add 1 packet of Hidden Valley dry ranch seasoning. If you choose to do this, reduce the spices to as follows: 1 teaspoon lemon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dill weed. (2) Sometimes I add up to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a little heat. Add however much you can stand! (3) Sometimes I add 1 teaspoon onion powder and reduce garlic powder to 1 teaspoon.
  3. Best Pretzels to Use: Choose a thick variety of hard pretzels for maximum crunch. The pretzels pictured here are sourdough hards. Avoid thin pretzel sticks/twists.
