Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound 450g mini pretzels
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 packet 1 oz dry ranch dressing mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two baking sheets with foil or parchment; lightly spray.
  2. In a large zip-top bag, combine oil, ranch mix, garlic powder, and dill; shake to blend.
  3. Add pretzels; seal and shake vigorously to coat evenly.
  4. Spread in single layers on sheets. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool completely on sheets.

Notes

  • Stir Often: Flipping prevents burning and ensures even crispiness—key for that perfect crunch.
  • Oil Balance: Use exactly 1/2 cup; more makes 'em greasy, less leaves 'em dry.
  • Storage Tip: Airtight container keeps them fresh 2 weeks; freeze for 3 months, thaw at room temp.
  • Spice It Up: Add cayenne for heat, but taste the mix first to avoid overkill.
