Garlic Parmesan Pretzels
Who doesn’t love a good salty snack? If you’re anything like me, pretzels are a pantry staple – perfect for munching, dipping, or pairing with cheese. But plain pretzels can feel a little… predictable. That’s where this Garlic Parmesan Pretzels recipe comes in. It’s the easy, flavor-packed upgrade you didn’t know you needed, and once you try it, you’ll never go back to basic.
Whether you’re throwing a party, prepping for game night, or just craving something crunchy, this recipe is a guaranteed hit. It’s fast, it’s addictively tasty, and it requires minimal effort (we’re talking one bowl and a baking sheet kind of simple).
Why You’ll Love These Pretzels
Let’s break it down. You’ve got:
- Crunchy pretzels as the base
- A buttery garlic coating that soaks into every twist and turn
- A generous dusting of grated parmesan cheese for salty, savory goodness
- A touch of Herbs de Provence that adds a hint of something fancy without being extra
They’re crispy, cheesy, and have just the right amount of garlic to keep things interesting (but not overpowering). The best part? You probably already have everything you need in your kitchen.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what goes into this gloriously simple snack:
- 1 big bag of mini pretzels
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Garlic powder (a few shakes)
- Onion powder (a few shakes)
- ½ teaspoon Herbs de Provence (optional, but highly recommended)
- Kraft grated Parmesan cheese (the green-top bottle)
How to Make Garlic Parmesan Pretzels
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
On a large sheet pan, spread out the pretzels evenly.
In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic.
2
Pour the garlic butter over the pretzels right on the sheet pan and toss everything to coat. No bowl needed.
Sprinkle on garlic powder, onion powder, herbs (if using), and Parmesan cheese – be generous here.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until everything’s warm, toasty, and lightly golden.
3
Sprinkle with more Parmesan as soon as they come out of the oven for that cheesy finish.
Let cool slightly and enjoy – or eat them straight off the pan like a savage (we don’t judge).
