Chars Seasoned Pretzels Recipes

SPICY SEASONED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Pour oil and spices into a gallon ziploc bag. Seal and shake to evenly combine oil with spices
• Add in pretzels, seal up ziploc bag, and gently shake to combine.
• Allow pretzels to soak up the seasoned oil for at least 6 hours, or ideally for 24 hours. Turn bag to shake up pretzels every few hours. No need to bake them, the pretzels will soak up all the oil.

PARMESAN GARLIC RANCH SEASONED PRETZELS

Steps:

• PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 250ºF. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, or if you line it with foil, spray generously with cooking spray.
• MIX: Break the pretzels into bite-sized pieces either by hand or by placing them in a zip-top bag and giving them a couple of whacks. Be careful not to make crumbs, you want the pieces to be bite-sized so that they don't over bake. Place them in a large bowl. In a 2 cup measuring cup, whisk together the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, parsley, sugar, vegetable oil, melted butter, and parmesan cheese. Pour the prepared sauce and stir or toss the pretzels to coat them evenly. Alternately, you could also do this in a clean (crumb-free) gallon-sized zip-top bag and just shake to combine the ranch mix and the pretzels.
• BAKE: Spread the pretzels out on to the prepared baking tray in an even, single layer. If they don't all fit on one baking sheet, it's best to spread them out onto two so that they bake evenly. Bake them for 35-40 minutes, stirring them every 15 minutes so that they brown evenly. Allow them to cool completely and then place them in an airtight container for up to 1 week!
