Crazy Good Seasoned Pretzels

If you’re looking for a fun snack to make for the holidays, game day, a yummy couch snack, or even for holiday gift-giving, these Crazy Good Seasoned Pretzels are just what you need! They’re really easy to make and have so much flavor. Honestly, they’re better than the store-bought ones and I know everyone will be asking you for the recipe!
These Crazy Good Seasoned Pretzels were inspired by the Dot’s original seasoning flavor. You might remember I first came across Dot’s pretzels this summer when I randomly added them to my Costco cart and became instantly *obsessed*. (I mean, how can you not?! They’re SO good!)
I immediately came up with a copycat recipe for their Honey Mustard Pretzels, and now I’m back with a copycat of their original seasoning flavor!
These homemade Seasoned Pretzels are SO good and seriously SO easy to make. You just need the pretzels, a packet of ranch seasoning, canola oil, and a few spices for seasoning.
It’s as simple as: coat the pretzels evenly with the dry seasonings, toss in the oil, bake in the oven, and bam! Crunchy, salty craving = satisfied!

Ingredient Notes
(For the full recipe, scroll down to the recipe card below)
- Butter Snaps Pretzels: I used these from Snyder’s of Hanover. You could really use any type of plain pretzel here, but I like how the checkerboard shape helps to hold the seasonings and ensure you get plenty in each bite!
- Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix: You’ll probably find a few different variation of these at the store. I used Hidden Valley‘s 0.4 ounce packet for my Seasoned Pretzels. If you already have a jar of this seasoning mix, use ~1 ½ tablespoons.
- Canola Oil: Just need ½ cup to coat the pretzels in before the bake
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning: Use whichever brand is your favorite!
- Additional Seasonings: garlic powder, dried dill, cayenne, kosher salt
Step by Step Directions

Mix the dry seasonings
Toss the pretzels with all the dry seasonings in a bowl or baggie.
Coat pretzels in oil
Pour the oil over the top and stir or shake to coat.
Put in pan & bake!
Pour the pretzels on a standard half sheet pan and spread into an even layer. Bake at 225°F for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Enjoy! 🥨
Allow pretzels to cool, then enjoy!!
Expert Tips
- Low and Slow: Bake the coated pretzels 225°F. This helps seal in the flavors without burning the pretzels, ensuring a crunchy texture.
- Stir Occasionally: During baking, stir the pretzels every 10 minutes. This ensures even baking and prevents any pieces from sticking together.
- Cooling: Let the pretzels cool completely after baking, and make sure they’re not overlapping. This helps them crisp up, prevents them from sticking together, and ensures the seasoning sets properly.
Storage
- Store the cooled pretzels in an air-tight container to keep them fresh and crunchy for up to 1 week.
