Ingredients
Scale
Seasoning Mix
- ¼ cup salted butter (melted, or a dairy-free alternative)
- ¼ cup avocado oil (or another mildly flavored oil)
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning (or 1 packet)
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
Snack
- 1 pound pretzels (twists or sticks)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare Ranch Coating: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, avocado oil, ranch seasoning, and dried dill until fully combined, creating a flavorful ranch sauce.
- Coat Pretzels: Place half of the pretzels into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, pour half of the ranch sauce over them. Add the remaining pretzels and the rest of the sauce. Seal the bag, trapping air inside, then shake vigorously until all the pretzels are thoroughly coated with the ranch mixture.
- Arrange and Bake: Spread the coated pretzels evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, tossing the pretzels halfway through to ensure even baking and a crisp texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This ensures they become crisp and perfect for snacking.
Notes
- Use a dairy-free butter alternative to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Adjust the ranch seasoning amount based on your taste preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
- Store leftover pretzels in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of pretzels such as sticks, twists, or rods.
