Easy to make Spicy Pretzels

These easy to make Spicy Pretzels are the perfect snack for game day, parties, lunches, movie night, or any time!

Start with pre-packaged mini pretzels. Add a few pantry staples and bake for the best crunchy snack that doesn't take much effort.

You'll need 1.5 pounds of mini pretzels. Choose any shape you like! My husband is fond of the square pretzel grids, but you can use regular mini's, sticks, or even pretzel balls. You'll also need a cup of olive oil or avocado oil, or just use vegetable oil if you prefer. Next add a dry packet of ranch dressing, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Toss it all together and bake for about a hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes.

These Spicy Pretzels keep well stored in an airtight container. Enjoy!
