My mom kept mentioning some yummy pretzels she started making and then sent me the recipe. I thought, ‘how good can it be?’ But eventually I decided to try it, and it was a big hit!
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Combine oil and spices in a large bowl. Add pretzels and toss to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spread on a parchment-lined and rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes in the 250º F oven, stirring a few times. Cool completely and enjoy! These can be addicting!
