Ingredients
Scale
Pretzel Mixture
- 12 ounces (340 g) sourdough hard pretzels (the pounder), broken into bite-size pieces
Honey Mustard Coating
- 1/3 cup (79 ml) vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a large baking sheet with silicone baking mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Honey Mustard Coating: In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together vegetable oil, yellow mustard, honey, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a uniform coating.
- Break Pretzels: Smash the sourdough hard pretzels against your countertop or use a rolling pin to break them into bite-sized pieces. This step helps the pretzels absorb more of the honey mustard flavor.
- Coat Pretzel Pieces: Add the broken pretzel pieces to the bowl with the honey mustard mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.
- Bake: Spread the coated pretzels out in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, tossing or turning the pieces halfway through to ensure even toasting.
- Cool and Store: Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cool, transfer to an airtight container to maintain optimal freshness.
Notes
- Use sourdough hard pretzels for the best texture and flavor impact.
- Ensure pretzels are broken into bite-size pieces before coating to maximize flavor absorption.
- Toss pretzels halfway through baking to toast them evenly.
- Store in an airtight container to keep pretzels fresh and crunchy.
- Adjust honey amount for more or less sweetness depending on your preference.
