How To Make zippy pretzels

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

Step 2

Pour oil into 2-cup glass measuring cup. Add ranch mix, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
Step 3

Whisk oil and spices thoroughly together.
Step 4

Shake pretzel bag vigorously to knock off much of packaged salt. Discard salt. Place pretzels on ungreased baking pan.
Step 5

Pour oil over pretzels. Use rubber scraper to get all oil out of cup. Gently stir pretzels until all are coated with oil mixture.
Step 6

Bake, uncovered for 90 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.
Step 7

Remove from baking pan and cool completely (about 30 minutes.) Store cold pretzels in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
Step 8

Cook note: 1 tsp of cayenne gives this a nice but not overwhelming zip. Adjust amount as needed to your taste.
