Ingredients
Honey Mustard Coating
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 3 teaspoons onion powder
Pretzels
- 12 ounce sourdough hard pretzels (the pounder)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275 °F (135 °C) and line a large baking sheet with silicone baking mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Coating: In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, honey, yellow mustard, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a flavorful glaze for the pretzels.
- Break Pretzels: Smash the sourdough hard pretzels against your countertop into bite-sized pieces, making them easier to coat and eat.
- Coat Pretzels: Pour the broken pretzels into the bowl with the honey mustard mixture and toss well, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful glaze.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated pretzels out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet to promote consistent baking and crispiness.
- Bake: Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, remembering to toss and turn the pieces halfway through to ensure even baking and prevent burning.
- Cool and Store: Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
Notes
- Use silicone mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Tossing the pretzels halfway through baking ensures even coating and crispiness.
- These pretzels are best stored in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
- Adjust the amount of honey to taste for sweeter or less sweet pretzels.
