Ingredients

  • 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.
  • Will keep in an airtight container for at least 1 week.

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Spice Level: These spicy pretzels are mild. Feel free to use even less cayenne pepper if you don't want them spicy at all. When making for my kids, I only use 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. You can also use more to taste if you want your spicy pretzel recipe spicier.
  • Oil: I prefer using avocado oil. I try and avoid vegetable and canola oil, but those would work as well. Same quantity.
  • Garlic Salt: If you don't have garlic salt, you can substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt.

Storage Tips

  • Store these seasoned pretzels in a Ziploc bag or airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
