For an extra kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or your favorite hot sauce to the ranch dressing mixture. Feel free to experiment with different pretzel shapes – rods, squares, or even gluten-free pretzels will work well. For a richer flavor, try using olive oil or melted butter instead of vegetable oil. If you don't have ranch dressing powder, you can make your own by combining dried buttermilk, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Place pretzel twists in a large bowl. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
Step
17 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and ranch dressing powder until smooth and well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the pretzels. Gently stir to coat, ensuring all pretzels are touched with the ranch mixture. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Prep/Wait time: 17 minutes)
03
Step
15 mins
Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Gently toss the pretzel mixture again to redistribute the ranch coating. Let stand for another 15 minutes while the oven preheats. (Prep/Wait time: 15 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Divide the pretzels between two large rimmed baking sheets, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even baking. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
05
Step
35 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the pretzels are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes. This will allow them to crisp up. (Cook/Cool time: 35 minutes)
06
StepOnce cooled, store the ranch pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness. They'll stay fresh for up to a week, but they're so delicious, they likely won't last that long!
