Instructions

Preheat and Prep Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a large baking sheet with silicone baking mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Mix Honey Mustard Coating: In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the vegetable oil, yellow mustard, honey, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Break Pretzels: Smash the sourdough hard pretzels against your countertop or use a rolling pin to break them into bite-size pieces. This helps them absorb the honey mustard coating better.
Coat Pretzel Pieces: Add the broken pretzel pieces to the bowl with the honey mustard mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated evenly.
Bake: Spread the coated pretzels in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, tossing or turning them halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Cool and Store: Remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

Use sourdough hard pretzels for the best crunch and flavor.
Ensure pretzels are evenly coated for consistent taste.
Store in an airtight container to keep pretzels crispy.
Feel free to adjust the amount of honey or mustard if you prefer sweeter or tangier flavors.
Baking at a low temperature helps to toast pretzels evenly without burning.
