Five-minute garlic ranch pretzels the whole family loves! Bold, savory, and perfectly crunchy, you can enjoy them right away or crisp in the oven for more crunch and longer storage.
Ingredients
15ouncespretzels 1 used small twists, one 15 ounce bags. See notes
1ouncedry ranch seasoningabout 2 tablespoons but you can add up to 3 tablespoons, see notes

1/3cupoilcanola, olive or coconut oil, can also use melted butter
Instructions
Place pretzels in a large bowl with a lid. Sprinkle ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and dill over the pretzels.
Cover the bowl and shake well until pretzels are coated. You can stir with a spatula, but I find shaking is quicker and the seasoning spreads more evenly.
Pour oil over pretzels. Cover and shake well again. Be sure to gently stir, scraping the seasonings from the bottom of the bowl. Serve and enjoy! I like to let them dry a little before serving, or bake them as I mention in the notes, but they can be enjoyed right away.
1/3 cup oil
Notes
A 1 ounce package of dry ranch seasoning can hold anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons of seasoning. You can always add an additional tablespoon of dry ranch seasoning if you prefer more ranch flavor. I recommend tasting before adding more.Use 14–16 oz pretzels in any shape. Twists, sticks, snaps, or flat crackers all work; small crackers like saltines or oyster crackers are great, too.You don't need to bake these pretzels, but it can help extend their life if you want them to last a little longer. I have found these pretzels taste best if eaten within 1-2 days, but if I bake the pretzels at 300 for 7-12 minutes in a single layer until the pretzels get a little crispier and they are dry to the touch. This bakes the oil and makes them last a little longer but watch the time carefully so they don't burn. We liked them both ways.You can also bake them in a single layer in an air fryer at 300°F degree for 2-4 minutes, or until they are just dry to the touch.
