These Spicy Sriracha Ranch Pretzels are a perfect party snack. Crunchy, spicy and delicious with a combination of sriracha and ranch seasoning. 
One of my favorite things to do is sit out on the deck on a nice summer evening and gab with my friends. Seasoned pretzels are one of our perennial favorite snacks, so I’m always trying out new ways to dress them up. These spicy pretzels with their zippy sriracha and ranch seasoning were an instant hit.
Now I know what people describe as spicy can be very subjective, my kid told me once that pop was spicy??? But I would describe these seasoned pretzels as the kind of spicy that you don’t even really notice at first, but then 4-5 pretzels in you feel the heat growing in your mouth. So, totally not a punch you in the face kind of spicy, but the kind that sneaks up on you. They are definitely more spicy than my Zesty Italian Seasoned Pretzel recipe.
The one thing that will punch you in the face is the Sriracha fumes when you open the oven, but more on that in just a bit. 
To make these baked spicy pretzels you’ll need:
-
Pretzels: Big twists, tiny twists, sticks, braids, or rings. Just don’t use waffles or pretzel shapes with tiny holes because you’ll run into issues with the seasoning not evenly coating the pretzels and you’ll have a few super salty, super spicy surprise pieces!
-
A packet of ranch dressing seasoning
-
Dried parsley (optional)
-
Sriracha sauce
-
Butter
-
Vegetable Oil
- Put your pretzels in a large resealable ziploc bag.
- Mix together the seasonings and pour the mixture in with the pretzels. Seal up the bag and give it a good shake, making sure they all get evenly covered and then let them sit and soak up all that goodness for about 10 minutes while the oven preheats to 250 degrees.
- Spread the pretzels out evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet and let them bake until the seasoning has completely baked into the pretzels and they are completely dry, about 45-50 minutes.
- You will need to stir the pretzels once about halfway through the baking time but this is important: When you go to stir them, open the oven and let the sriracha fumes escape before you pull the pan out to stir the pretzels. The sriracha will be strong enough to make your eyes water if you don’t let it dissipate a bit. Learned that one the hard way!
- Store them in an airtight container. They will stay good for quite a while, but to be honest, I’m not sure exactly how long because they never last long in my house!
