They take only a few minutes to make and bring a lot of spice to the party.
And who doesn’t like a spicy party anyway? Am I right?
KEY TO SUCCESS #1 – USE YOU FAVORITE PRETZELS
We went with Pretzel Sticks in this recipe, but you can really use any pretzel shape.
The Spicy Ranch Pretzel recipe works just as well with mini pretzel twists or butter snaps.
You can even use the larger pretzel twists if that is what you have on hand.
I think the pretzel sticks are great because you can just grab a handful and go.
KEY TO SUCCESS #2 – THE SECRET INGREDIENT
The seasoning blend on these spicy pretzels is a packet of Fiesta Ranch dressing mix, garlic, cayenne pepper, and lemon pepper.
The lemon pepper is the ace in the hole in this recipe.
The citrus notes really bring the flavors together to make these Spicy Ranch Pretzels truly unforgettable.
We’re also using the Hidden Valley Fiesta Ranch Dip mix instead of the original Ranch flavor.
The Fiesta Ranch mix has flavors of chipotle, tomatoes, and onions along with the ranch flavoring.
It’s a strong choice to really add a nice flavor profile to your pretzels.
If you can’t find it, you can use the original Ranch dressing mix as an easy substitute.
Mix the ranch dressing mix and spices with some vegetable oil.
Equal amounts of canola oil, popcorn oil, or melted butter will work just as well in this recipe.
Add the pretzels to a gallon-sized zip-top plastic baggie then pour the spiced oil into the bag.
Tightly close the bag and shake well to coat the pretzels in the spices.
KEY TO SUCCESS #3 – BAKE FOR EXTRA CRUNCH
The Spicy Ranch Pretzels bake at a relatively low temperature of only 250 degrees F.
Be sure to preheat the oven while you are mixing up your spices.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper then pour the coated pretzels into it.
Spread the pretzels out then pop them into the 250 degree F oven.
These pretzels only need to bake for about 15 minutes.
It’s long enough to toast the pretzels and ensure that the spices stick to them, but not long enough to burn them.
After 15 minutes, remove the pretzels from the oven and give them a good stir before turning them out onto a sheet of waxed paper to cool.
Be sure to spread the pretzels out so that they will cool quicker.
In about 30 minutes, they’ll be ready for your hungry crew to devour.
