Should I use unsalted pretzels?
If you’re adhering to a special diet or watching your salt intake, then it’s smart to start with unsalted pretzels. One of the biggest benefits to making your own snacks at home is that you can control the ingredients. By using your own homemade seasonings, you avoid the high sodium and many preservatives found in processed snacks.
You can even make your own hard pretzels. That way, you know exactly what is in them.
How to make seasoned pretzels at home
Making homemade seasoned pretzels is easy–just like making seasoned popcorn. Spread your pretzels out on a flat surface. I recommend a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. That makes cleanup easy.
You’ll need something to stick the seasoning onto the pretzels. Butter is the obvious choice, but a healthier option would be olive oil or an oil spray.
More ways to add flavor to pretzels
Think about other ways to add more flavor to this traditional snack. What about starting with flavored pretzels? Sourdough pretzels have more of a tangy taste, while honey wheat pretzels have an earthy, sweet flavor.
Change up the butter or oil you’re using for even more flavor. Most grocery stores offer several flavors of butter, such as garlic and herb. Use coconut oil or avocado oil, if you like the flavor. Or look for a flavored olive oil, such as lemon or chili.
