Pretzels
- 12 ounces (340 g) sourdough hard pretzels (the pounder), broken into bite-size pieces
Honey Mustard Coating
- 1/3 cup (79 ml) vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a large baking sheet with silicone baking mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix Honey Mustard Coating: In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the vegetable oil, yellow mustard, honey, and onion powder until fully combined into a smooth, uniform coating.
- Break Pretzels: Smash the sourdough hard pretzels against your countertop or with a rolling pin to break them into bite-size pieces. This helps absorb the honey mustard flavor.
- Coat Pretzel Pieces: Add the broken pretzel pieces to the bowl with the honey mustard mixture. Toss well to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Bake: Spread the coated pretzels out in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, tossing or turning the pieces halfway through to toast evenly.
- Cool and Store: Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cool, transfer to an airtight container for optimal freshness.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce to the honey mustard mixture.
- You can use gluten-free pretzels if preferred.
- Store pretzels in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain their crunch.
- Perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, or game day snacks.
