Ingredients
- 1 pound pretzels
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 oz ranch seasoning (approximately 1 packet)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Coat the pretzels: Place the pretzels into a large mixing bowl or large resealable bag. Pour in the vegetable oil and toss or shake well to evenly coat all pretzels with the oil.
- Add seasoning: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the oiled pretzels. Toss or shake again to thoroughly coat each pretzel with the seasoning mix. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pretzels onto a baking sheet, allowing any excess oil to stay behind in the bowl.
- Let pretzels dry: Allow the coated pretzels to set and dry at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, tossing gently every 20 to 30 minutes to ensure even drying. Once dried, store them in an airtight bag or container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
Notes
- Use a slotted spoon when moving the pretzels to the baking sheet to avoid transferring excess oil, which helps maintain crispiness.
- Tossing the pretzels during drying ensures even texture and prevents sogginess.
- Store the finished Crack Pretzels in an airtight container to keep them crunchy for up to one week.
- You can experiment with different seasoning blends if desired, such as barbecue or spicy chipotle.
