Ingredients

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 (1 ounce) packet of ranch dressing mix
  • 2-4 tablespoons pickle juice (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Snack

  • 1 pound bag mini pretzels

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
  2. Make Seasoning Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, pickle juice (start with 2 tablespoons and add more to your liking), neutral oil, dried dill, and dried parsley. Whisk together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Coat Pretzels: Pour the mini pretzels into the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Immediately toss with a rubber spatula, ensuring all pretzels are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture for consistent taste.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet. It’s fine if some pretzels overlap as they will bake evenly.
  5. Bake and Toss: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes total. Halfway through baking, after 10 minutes, remove the pretzels and toss them thoroughly to promote an even bake and crisp texture. Then return to the oven to finish.
  6. Cool and Garnish: Once baking is complete, remove the pretzels from the oven and optionally sprinkle additional dried dill and parsley on top for an extra burst of flavor. Allow the pretzels to cool completely to become crisp.
  7. Store Properly: Store the cooled pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness and crunch.
  8. Enjoy and Share: Serve as a tasty snack and invite feedback or ratings if you try this recipe.

Notes

  • Adjust pickle juice quantity to your taste preference for tanginess.
  • Use neutral oil like vegetable or canola to not overpower the flavors.
  • Adding dried dill and parsley is optional but adds a fresh herbaceous note.
  • Be sure to toss pretzels mid-bake for even coating and crispiness.
  • Allow pretzels to cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature to keep the pretzels crunchy.
