Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces hard pretzels thick crunchy style like sourdough or rods
  • ½ cup oil neutral or olive oil to help the seasoning stick
  • 3 tablespoons honey regular or spicy honey for extra kick
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed light or dark both work
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard smooth and tangy style
  • 2 teaspoons ground mustard dry mustard powder for extra bite
  • 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder for savory depth
  • ½ teaspoon salt fine salt for the seasoning mix
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt optional topping for finishing crunch

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to a low 200°F (93°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. Stir the oil, honey, brown sugar, Dijon, ground mustard, onion powder, and salt together in a small bowl until smooth and fully blended.
  3. Break the pretzels into bite-sized chunks, place them in a large bowl or zip-top bag, and pour the seasoning mixture over them, tossing until every piece is well coated.
  4. Spread the coated pretzels out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, using two sheets if needed, and lightly sprinkle with flaky salt if using.
  5. Bake for about 50–60 minutes, stirring and turning the pretzels every 15 minutes so they dry and crisp evenly.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the pretzels cool completely so the coating sets and turns fully crunchy.

Notes

Bake these low and slow for that deep crunch and bold flavor that makes them impossible to stop snacking on. They’re the kind of treat that vanishes from the bowl during movie night and somehow tastes even better the next day.
