Try this spicy seasoned pretzels recipe that's easy to make and will be gobbled up by everyone you serve them to.
While visiting with some friends I tried some delicious spicy pretzels that you can buy at the store but I thought they might also be easy to make.

This way you can control what seasoning is used and how much. I chose ranch dressing mix, added some Parmesan cheese, and my favorite Hungarian hot paprika.
Spicy Seasoned Pretzels Recipe
The spices and seasoning all get whisked together with olive oil in a small bowl.
Then the mixture is poured into a sealable plastic bag with the pretzels so you can toss and shake them until they are well coated.
You can probably stop there but I decided to bake them a bit to help the seasoning adhere better. I'm not totally sure that this step was needed.
All I know is that they tasted fantastic and I will definitely make them again. Maybe I'll switch up the spices and use some exotic flavor like Za'atar. Or something milder such as a cheddar powder without the hot paprika. The possibilities are great and that's what makes this recipe so fun.
