Ingredients

16 ounces pretzels bag
1/2 cup butter Only use real butter for best flavor.
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 tablespoons mustard powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast *Note, this is not regular baking yeast. I use Bragg Nutritional Yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Place pretzels into a large bowl and set them aside.
16 ounces pretzels
In a microwave save bowl, place butter and microwave on hight for 40 seconds or until the butter is melted
1/2 cup butter
Next add honey, Dijon mustard, dried mustard powder, onion powder, turmeric, salt, sugar, nutritional yeast, and vinegar. Whisk ingredients into butter. Microwave 30 more seconds on high. Whisk ingredients until smooth and incorporated well.
2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, 2 tablespoons mustard powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Drizzle the sauce over the bowl of pretzels, string gently so the pretzels do not get broken. Continue to stir until all the pretzels are coated well.
Evenly spread in a single layer the pretzels over the parchment-lined cookie sheet. Spread them out evenly to the sides of the baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes, string 1/2 way through so the seasoning bakes evenly on the pretzels.
Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

Note: Ovens are a bit different in their heating depending on the age and make. It would be a good idea to check your pretzels around the 25-minute mark to see if they are crisp and dry.

Variations

Spicy: If you like spicy food, add 1 teaspoon of red chili pepper to the butter mixture. It's the perfect snack with an ice-cold beer.
Sweet: Add 1 cup of raisins after the pretzels are baked. This will create a salty and sweet snack mixture.
Shapes: Try different shapes and sizes of pretzels.
