Ranch Pretzels

These buttery ranch pretzels are wicked simple to make and cost way less than the store-bought versions. The key is letting them sit for ~10 minutes so the seasoning really absorbs before baking.

Ingredients

Ingredients (~24 servings)

  • 24 oz mini pretzels
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 packets ranch seasoning (not dip mix - I use Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing & Recipe Mix) 1.5 oz
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp dried dill weed
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  • Place pretzels in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning, dill weed, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Whisk together melted butter and oil in a measuring cup.
  • Gradually drizzle butter mixture over pretzels, tossing with a spatula to coat evenly.
  • Sprinkle seasoning mixture over pretzels in 3-4 additions, tossing after each addition.
  • Let pretzels sit for 8-10 minutes, stirring from the bottom 2-3 times.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 250F and line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Spread pretzels in an even layer on the pan and scrape any remaining seasoning over them.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until dry and lightly crisped.
  • Cool completely on the baking sheet before storing.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Use Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing & Recipe Mix, not dip mix.
