⭐Why I Love It:
- Ready in Under 20 Minutes - Just toss together the pretzels, butter, parmesan, and spices then bake!
- Only 5 Ingredients - You only need a few simple, staple ingredients!
- Fun Snack - This is such a fun snack for after school, a movie night, or any party! Another favorite pretzel snack is this Spicy Seasoned Pretzels recipe or Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels.
🥘Ingredients
- Small Pretzels - I used Tiny Twists!
- Butter - I like to use unsalted butter since the pretzels are already salted, but you can use salted butter if you want more salty flavor coming through.
- Grated Parmesan - I like to use the kind sold in a can as it's very fine and sticks to the pretzels well.
- Garlic Powder and Dried Parsley

💭Recipe Tips
- Leftovers - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about 5 days.
- To Double the Recipe - The recipe is easy to double but you'll want to bake it on two baking sheets so the pretzels are spread out into an even layer. You can also make a smaller batch by halving the recipe.
- Line the baking sheet - Make sure to line the pan with either parchment paper or a silicone liner so that the pretzels are easier to remove.
- Oven Temp - It's very important to not bake these at too high of heat or the parmesan can burn. 325 degrees F is the perfect sweet spot to bake the parmesan without burning it.
