There’s one snack I can never seem to get enough of: pretzels. Whether it’s classic salted pretzels, almond butter-filled ones, or those sweet-and-savory honey mustard bites (seriously, have you tried them?!), they all hold a special place in my snack-loving heart.

All you need are three simple ingredients: butter, ranch seasoning mix, and dried dill. Toss it all together, bake until crispy perfection, and you’ve got an irresistible snack ready in no time!
Ingredients
For the exact measurements and detailed instructions, you can jump to the recipe.
- Pretzels. You can use twists or sticks, whichever you prefer. Opt for regular pretzels or gluten-free, if needed.
- Butter. Regular salted butter was used when testing the recipe. Feel free to sub with a vegan butter alternative, if needed.
- Oil. Avoid using a strongly flavored variety, such as olive oil. Avocado oil is best since it is mildly flavored and won’t overpower the ranch seasoning.
- Ranch seasoning. It is so simple to make you own homemade ranch seasoning mix with a few spices. Or, you can buy a packet or jar at the store.

- Make the ranch seasoning. Mix the buttermilk powder (this is usually on the baking aisle near the spices and seasonings), garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dried dill, dried chives, salt and black pepper. Stir well until everything is combined.
- Make the sauce. Next, take the ranch seasoning you just made and add 2 tablespoons to a medium-sized bowl. Mix in melted butter and oil along with the dried dill. Give this sauce a good whisk until there are no chunks of spice left.
- Toss with pretzels. Place your chosen pretzels into a gallon-sized bag. Carefully pour the sauce all over them. Be sure not to spill any; you don’t want to waste any flavor! Close the bag, ensuring you left some air trapped inside. Give the bag a few gentle shakes until all of the pieces are fully coated in the sauce.
- Bake in the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 275℉. This lower temperature allows the flavoring to really set into the pretzels without overcooking or burning them. Spread the pretzels out on the pan in a single layer. Be sure they are as even as possible for the best results. Bake for about 10 minutes. Then, toss and flip the pretzels and continue baking for another 8 to 10 minutes.
