    Why you'll love this recipe

    • A gluten-free recipe that is semi-homemade with simple ingredients.
    • This is a simple snack that's fun to make, but a pre-made spice mixture can often have gluten so making your own is key!
    • It's EASY - I promise you have everything in your pantry already, except possibly the pretzels.
    • Makes a great gift or a perfect party snack for holiday parties.

    Ingredients and substitutions

    Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete ingredient list and instructions in the recipe card below.

    Mini gluten-free pretzels - Grab a bag of your favorite hard pretzels for this salty crunchy snack! I think the classic pretzel shape works best but pretzel sticks would work as well.

    If not gluten-free, the regular variety will work too!

    Olive oil - Oil helps the seasoning stick and crisps things up. Using olive oil keeps it dairy-free. Vegan butter can be substituted.

    Dried herbs and seasonings - A quick mixture of dill weed, parsley, chives, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and nutritional yeast that is similar to that ranch packet flavor.

    Step-by-step instructions

    Before you start: Preheat the oven and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Olive oil and herbs in a glass measuring cup.
    Baked pretzels on an aluminum pan.

    Step 1: Whisk together olive oil and all of the herbs and seasonings in a large mixing bowl. Add the pretzels.

    Pour olive oil mixture over them and gently stir to coat.

    Step 2: Spread mix into a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes.

    Let them cool to room temperature on a wire rack. 

    Tips

    • For best results, allow these salty herbaceous snacks to cool completely before grabbing a handful. This way, you ensure that the mixture dries and sticks to the pretzels.

    Storage

    Store in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days. Will they last that long in your house?

    Serving suggestions

    These seasoned pretzels make for an incredibly versatile snack or side. Here are some suggestions for pairing!

    • Dips like hummus or queso
    • Alongside sandwiches
    • Add to a charcuterie board
    • Combine them with a savory trail mix

    FAQs

    What is nutritional yeast?

    This is an inactive form of yeast (so it wouldn't raise bread or brew beer!) that adds a wonderful umami flavor to food. Many describe it as cheesy and I find it's the perfect complement to the herbs in this recipe.

    Are these allergy-friendly?

    Classic seasoned cracker recipes focus on saltines or oyster crackers and sometimes butter. Instead, grab your favorite gluten-free pretzels and mix up your own seasoning mix.

    Can this recipe be made ahead of time?

    Yes! This recipe can be made a day or two ahead. Be sure to store the seasoned snack in an airtight container or ziplock bag.

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup olive oil
    • 1 ¾ teaspoons dried dillweed
    • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
    • 1 teaspoon dried chives
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 11/2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon black pepper
    • 11/2 teaspoons onion powder
    • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
    • 1 14oz or 16oz bag mini gluten-free pretzels I like Gratify or Glutino brands

    Instructions

    • In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together olive oil and all of the herbs and seasonings, including nutritional yeast. 
    • Place gluten-free pretzels in a large bowl. Pour olive oil mixture over pretzels and gently stir and fold until all pretzels are coated. 
    • Allow the pretzels to sit and soak while you prepare the oven. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • When the oven is ready, spread the pretzels into an even layer on each baking sheet. Bake for 18-20. Remove from oven and allow pretzels to cool on baking sheets completely on a wire rack. 
    • Once cool, transfer to serving bowls or store in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.

    Notes

    • For best results, allow those salty herbaceous pretzels to cool completely before grabbing a handful. This way, you ensure that the mixture dries and sticks to the pretzels.
