Scale
Ingredients
- 3 cups mini twist pretzels
- 4 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp sea salt (optional)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic butter mixture: In a large bowl, add the melted butter, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and minced garlic. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.
- Toss the pretzels: Add the mini twist pretzels to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the garlic butter mixture.
- Arrange and bake: Spread the coated pretzels out on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Drizzle any remaining butter from the bowl over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes, being careful not to overbake to avoid drying them out.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Remove the pretzels from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them. To help the cheese stick better, optionally spray a little olive oil over the pretzels before tossing to combine.
- Serve: Transfer the pretzels off the cookie sheet and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy this warm, flavorful snack!
Notes
- This recipe takes about 10 minutes from start to finish, making it a great quick snack option.
- Sea salt is optional; you can omit it or adjust based on your salt preference.
- Be careful not to overbake the pretzels to keep them from becoming too dry or hard.
- Spraying olive oil before adding Parmesan helps the cheese adhere better to the pretzels.
- Perfect for last-minute parties, game day snacks, or casual get-togethers.
