Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For best flavor, let the seasoned pretzels sit for at least an hour before baking to absorb the spices. If you prefer a spicy kick, consider adding some cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix. Remember that using a high-quality oil can enhance the overall taste. You can also substitute garlic salt with regular salt and more garlic powder if needed.
Serving Suggestions
These savory pretzels make a fantastic snack for game day or parties. Serve them alongside a refreshing dip or a glass of Sangria For Fifty for a festive touch. They also pair well with cheeses and charcuterie boards, adding a delightful crunch to your spread. Consider serving them with a side of mustard for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm them in a low oven for about 10 minutes, which helps restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them chewy.
