Ingredients
Scale
Pretzel Mix
- 1 bag (16 ounce) salted mini pretzel sticks
- 1 cup mixed nuts
Butter Coating
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) salted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2–1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 325° F (163° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Combine pretzels and nuts: Pour the salted mini pretzel sticks and mixed nuts onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out evenly for uniform toasting.
- Mix seasoning butter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted salted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, dried dill, cayenne pepper (adjust to taste), and black pepper until fully combined and smooth.
- Coat pretzels and nuts: Pour the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the pretzels and nuts on the baking sheet, then gently toss or stir to coat everything thoroughly with the flavorful mixture.
- Bake and toss: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, tossing the mixture 2 to 3 times during baking to ensure even toasting and crispiness on all sides.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the pretzel mix to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
