Ingredients For zippy pretzels

  • 1/2 c
    vegetable oil
  • 1 pkg
    hidden valley ranch dry dressing mix
  • 1 tsp
    garlic powder
  • 1 tsp
    cayenne pepper

How To Make zippy pretzels

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  • 2
    Pour oil into 2-cup glass measuring cup. Add ranch mix, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
  • 3
    Whisk oil and spices thoroughly together.
  • 4
    Shake pretzel bag vigorously to knock off much of packaged salt. Discard salt. Place pretzels on ungreased baking pan.
  • 5
    Pour oil over pretzels. Use rubber scraper to get all oil out of cup. Gently stir pretzels until all are coated with oil mixture.
  • 6
    Bake, uncovered for 90 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.
  • 7
    Remove from baking pan and cool completely (about 30 minutes.) Store cold pretzels in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
  • 8
    Cook note: 1 tsp of cayenne gives this a nice but not overwhelming zip. Adjust amount as needed to your taste.
