    Why You Need to Make This Seasoned Pretzels Recipe!

    The Taste. The combination of lemon pepper, dill weed, garlic powder, and one packet of dry ranch salad dressing mix makes these seasoned hard pretzels absolutely amazing. Not to mention, addictive!

    Super Easy to Make. It takes 10 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake, with a 30-minute dry time in the oven. That's it! You can bag them up or put them in a container to enjoy all week long—if they last that long!

    Only 6 Ingredients. 1 box of hard sourdough pretzels, seasonings, and olive oil are all you will need to make this irresistible savory snack!

    Perfect for Gifting. If you want a fun and easy gift for family and friends, this is it!

    This recipe was passed down to me from Adam's Guela, who was such an awesome woman. Whenever we make them, we always think of her!

    Recipe Ingredients

    • Hard Sourdough Pretzels. You'll need 1 box. I used Snyder's of Hanover because IMHO they're the best.
    • Lemon Pepper. I used the McCormick brand, which unfortunately only comes in a larger size container. So if you can find a smaller size—because you'll only need ½ teaspoon—go for it.
    • Dill Weed
    • Garlic Powder. Not to be confused with garlic salt. Please don't use the salt.
    • Dry Ranch Salad Dressing Mix. I used Hidden Valley Ranch's version, but use what you have available in your area. Make sure it's a packet of dry seasoning and not liquid.
    • Olive Oil. You can also use canola or vegetable oil too.

    Seasoned Pretzel Substitutions

    In place of the hard sourdough pretzels, you can use pretzel rods, pretzel twists, or really any small hard pretzel shape!

    The Only Tools You'll Need

    To make these easy seasoned pretzels recipe, you'll need:

    • Mixing Bowls. I like to mix up the seasoning and oil together in one bowl. Add the broken pieces of sourdough pretzels to another, then pour the seasoning over the top to coat them.
    • Whisk and Spatula. Use a whisk to mix up the seasoning. And a spatula to mix up the pretzels and seasoning as well as to spread out the pretzels on the baking sheet.
    • Baking Sheet. You'll need a medium- to large-size baking sheet with a rimmed edge. You can slso use a 13" x 9" pan.
    • Container or Ziploc Bag. Something to store the pretzels in after making them.

    Here's How to Make Seasoned Pretzels!

    Mix Up the Seasoning. In a mixing bowl, whisk up the spices and olive oil.

    Break Up the Pretzels. You can use a hammer, meat tenderizer, or rolling pin to break them up. Save some larger pieces too, if you'd like. Add them to a larger size bowl.

    Pour the Seasoning Over the Top. Pout it over the top, like you would melted butter and popcorn. Then mix it up with a spatula to make sure all the pretzels are covered with that flavorful goodness!

    Spread Out. Spread the seasoned pretzels out onto the baking sheet. You don't need to coat the baking sheet either.

    Bake the Cool Down. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir the pretzels around, then bake another 10 minutes. Turn the oven off (keep the oven door closed) and let the pretzels sit in there for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a container. The pretzels will keep for up to 2 weeks, but trust me‚ they'll be gone well before then!

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I use other types of pretzels instead of hard sourdough?

    Yes, absolutely! You can use pretzel rods, pretzel twists, or any hard shape pretzels.

    What size baking sheet should I use?

    I used a larger size baking sheet like the one shown above. You can also use a 13" x 9" pan.

    Can I switch up the spices used?

    I didn't test the recipe using any other type, but you're welcome to experiment! Maybe add a little cayenne pepper for some spiciness!
