Ingredients
Scale
Honey Mustard Coating
- 1/3 cup (79 ml) vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons onion powder
Pretzels
- 12 ounces (340 g) sourdough hard pretzels (the pounder), broken into bite-size pieces
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 to ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Honey Mustard Coating: In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the vegetable oil, yellow mustard, honey, and onion powder until you achieve a smooth, uniform coating.
- Break Pretzels: Smash the sourdough hard pretzels against your countertop or with a rolling pin to break them into bite-size pieces; this step allows the pretzels to absorb more of the honey mustard flavor.
- Coat Pretzel Pieces: Add the broken pretzel pieces to the bowl with the honey mustard mixture. Toss them well 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 toast the pretzels evenly.
- Cool and Store: Remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container to maintain optimal freshness.
Notes
- Breaking the pretzels into bite-size pieces helps with better coating and flavor absorption.
- Using parchment paper or silicone mats prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Tossing halfway through baking ensures even toasting and crispiness.
- Store in an airtight container to keep the pretzels crunchy for several days.
