Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels
Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Vegetable oil
- ¾ cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 16 ounces Twisted pretzels
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the vegetable oil, sugar and cinnamon and stir until combined.
- Add in your bag of pretzels.
- Stirring gently with a spatula or large spoon, toss to coat every piece.
- On a 11×13 baking sheet lay out your pretzels in a single layer. You will most likely need two baking sheets.
- Bake at 350° for 3-5 minutes. Once the sugar has turned color is when you want to remove them. Otherwise, the pretzels will burn.
- Allow to sit for a minute or two.
Notes
- Use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor. Unrefined coconut oil adds a tropical note, which can be lovely—but refined keeps the cinnamon front and center.
- Warm the oil gently, not hot. Just melt it enough to dissolve the sugar. Overheating can cause the sugar to clump or scorch.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon separately first. Whisking them together before adding to the oil ensures even spice distribution and prevents cinnamon clumps.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment. It prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze, especially if sugar caramelizes.
- Try flavor twists. Swap cinnamon for pumpkin spice in fall, or add a dash of cayenne for sweet heat.
