For the holidays, I’m doing several series for ya’ll. First, I wrote about my three favorite soups for those cold winter days: potato, vegetable and chili. Second, I’m posting a recipe for holiday cookies every Monday for five weeks — so far you’ve seen grasshoppers and swirl butter cookies. My third series is all about the munchies! I love having snack food around for the holidays because its great to nibble on while playing games with family or (in our case this year) for traveling to see family.
To start off this snack series, I’m sharing a recipe for garlic ranch pretzels! These babies were delicious, and I couldn’t stop eating them! Even better, this is a very simple recipe.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Pretzels
- Corn oil
- Dill weed
- Garlic powder
- Dry ranch mix
Put the pretzels into a large Ziploc bag. Add in the oil and seasonings.
Shake the bag and move the pretzels all around in order to get the oil and seasonings all over each pretzel.
Pour the bag onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 250 degrees for one hour. Be sure to take the pan out around every 15-20 minutes and stir the pretzels around. With so many pretzels, a few are sure to fall off the pan during the stirring … that was fine by me! I ate them right up!
Once the hour is over, let them cool awhile. Enjoy! I bagged ours up into small Ziploc bags to be sure I didn’t eat all of them at once!
- 1 bag pretzel sticks
- 1 cup corn oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dill weed
- 1 package dry ranch mix
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees
- Put all the ingredients into a large Ziploc bag
- Shake the bag around until the oil and seasonings have covered pretzels
- Pour bag onto rimmed baking sheet
- Bake at 250 degrees for one hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes
- (Take pan out of oven to stir so pretzels don't fall to the bottom of your oven).
This is similar to my oyster crackers. I use these ingredients but you use oyster crackers and pour dry ingredients in a paper bag, then pour in oil and shake. The bag soaks up the extra oil. Pour into a bowl and enjoy.
I’ll have to try the pretzels. I am taking Fire Crackers to Jamys for Christmas. Similar, but you use saltines and red pepper flakes. No baking, just shaking. 😉
Oyster crackers are one of the upcoming recipes in my munchies series! 🙂
These sound really good!
