Parmesan Garlic Ranch Seasoned Pretzels Recipe

PREP:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 250ºF.
• Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, or if you line it with foil, spray generously with cooking spray.

MIX:

• Break the pretzels into bite-sized pieces either by hand or by placing them in a zip-top bag and giving them a couple of whacks.
• Be careful not to make crumbs, you want the pieces to be bite-sized so that they don’t over bake.
• Place them in a large bowl. In a 2 cup measuring cup, whisk together the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, parsley, sugar, vegetable oil, melted butter, and parmesan cheese.
• Pour the prepared sauce and stir or toss the pretzels to coat them evenly.
• Alternately, you could also do this in a clean (crumb-free) gallon-sized zip-top bag and just shake to combine the ranch mix and the pretzels.

BAKE:

• Spread the pretzels out on to the prepared baking tray in an even, single layer.
• If they don’t all fit on one baking sheet, it’s best to spread them out onto two so that they bake evenly.
• Bake them for 35-40 minutes, stirring them every 15 minutes so that they brown evenly.
• Allow them to cool completely and then place them in an airtight container for up to 1 week!
