Seasoned Pretzels
- 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1 envelope dry ranch dressing mix (1 oz.)
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 cups pretzel nuggets
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk ranch dressing mix and seasonings with the oil. Add pretzels and mix well to coat evenly. Place the pretzels on one or two baking sheets (with rims), spreading them out to allow for air circulation.
Bake pretzels for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place baked pretzels on several layers of paper towel so the excess oil will be absorbed. Allow to cool completely; store in an airtight container or plastic zippered bag.
Makes 3 cups.
