Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 to 7 cups plain pretzel bites or pretzel nuggets Use store-bought for convenience.
- 4 tablespoons butter Melted for coating.
- 3 tablespoons honey Adjust according to sweetness preference.
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard For classic mustard flavor.
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Adds depth to flavor.
- 1 tablespoon onion powder Essential for that onion flavor.
- 1 to 2 teaspoons dried minced onion Optional for texture.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances overall flavor.
- 0.5 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar For acidity and flavor balance.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Turn off the heat and whisk in honey, both mustards, and vinegar.
- In a small bowl, mix onion powder, dried minced onion (if using), garlic powder, and salt.
Coating
- Put the pretzels in a large bowl. Pour the honey mustard mixture over them and toss until everything looks evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the dry seasoning over the pretzels while tossing again to ensure even coverage.
Baking
- Spread pretzels in an even layer on the sheet pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Let them cool for 10 minutes; they will crisp up as they cool.
Notes
These pretzel bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days. To re-crisp, warm them in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes at 300°F.
