Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12-16 oz sourdough hard pretzels (the pounder)
- ⅔ cup vegetable oil
- 4 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with silicone baking mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, honey, yellow mustard, and onion powder until thoroughly combined, forming a smooth and flavorful glaze.
- Prepare Pretzels: Gently smash the sourdough hard pretzels against your countertop into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are small enough to be easy to snack on but still maintain some crunch.
- Coat Pretzels: Add the broken pretzel pieces into the bowl with the honey mustard mixture and toss well, making sure every piece is evenly coated in the delicious glaze.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated pretzels onto the lined baking sheet in an even layer to ensure uniform baking and crispiness.
- Bake: Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, tossing and turning the pieces halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking and coating.
- Cool and Store: Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container for storage to maintain freshness and crunch.
Notes
- Be careful not to smash the pretzels too finely, as larger pieces maintain better texture.
- Tossing halfway through baking is key to ensure even coating and crispiness.
- Store in an airtight container to keep the pretzels fresh and crunchy for several days.
- These pretzel bites make an excellent snack for parties or movie nights.
- You can adjust the honey or mustard levels to suit your taste—add more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tang.
