Ranch Pretzels are a quick and easy snack recipe perfect for when you are going to a party or hosting guests. Once you start munching on these pretzels seasoned with ranch, dill and garlic and baked you won’t be able to stop! Totally addictive and they always get raving reviews at parties. You might as well take the recipe along to pass out!
I love appetizers and snacks when hosting guests that are easy to put out and leave out. That way everyone can munch at their own convenience and when kids get hungry they are able to serve themselves! A few of my favorite snacks to go along with these easy Ranch Pretzels is this Easy Fruit Dip or Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip. I also love to treat the kiddos to their own drinks like this Shirley Temple!
Simple Snack Recipes
If you need a simple snack recipe to share with your friends and family at your next get-together, I’ve got you covered with these Ranch Pretzels. They are so yummy they will be snatched up quick, so you might want to make a double batch!
I love simple snack recipes like these Ranch Pretzels! They’re flavored with ranch seasoning, garlic, powder and dill and couldn’t be easier to make. This recipe makes a big batch that’s great for parties. Just pile them into bowls and watch them disappear!
I pretty much make them on repeat all year long for game-days and holidays. I also love to make them in the summer when we seem to have all kinds of summer parties and get-togethers pop up out of nowhere. They’re really easy to make and serve and everyone always loves them.
Addictive Ranch Pretzels!
Can I be honest? Sometimes my favorite thing about parties and get-togethers is the food! Well, that and dressing little Miss K. up in her Viking gear for game-day parties. Please tell me I’m not alone with this! I mean, of course, I love getting together with friends and family but it’s really important to me that the food be delicious and these savory and addictive Ranch Pretzels are one of my favorite snack recipes to make.
These pretzels always disappear fast because who doesn’t love ranch-flavored snacks? My family loves ranch-flavored anything and these pretzel snacks are one of our favorite party munchies. They’re so easy to whip up and I love that you don’t need a lot of ingredients to make them.
My lovely sis-in-law shared this Ranch Pretzels recipe with me. She brings them to gatherings and they are the kind of snack you keep going back for even though you know you need to stop eating them. Not great for the waistline, but, hey, I’m not going to judge because, let’s be real, I don’t have a lot of self-control and this savory snack lets me know that. Once you make these you’ll see – people will want you to bring them to all the parties!
It’s also a great snack or appetizer to make-ahead, which is such a life-saver when it’s busy. You can make a big batch ahead of time and store the pretzels in an air-tight container until you’re ready to serve them. Makes things so easy for entertaining!
Ranch Pretzels Ingredients
Have I mentioned how easy these are to make? You only need six ingredients and ten minutes to prep them. Here’s what you need:
- Popcorn oil
- Dill weed
- Garlic powder
- Pre-made dry ranch seasoning
- Pretzel sticks
- Butter-flavored pretzels
How to Make Ranch Pretzels
- Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl or use a large resealable bag for even easier clean-up!
- Stir it all together until the pretzels are evenly coated in the oil and other ingredients.
- Spread the pretzels out on two baking sheets.
- Bake the Ranch Pretzels for one hour at 250 degrees F. While the pretzels bake, give them a stir every 15 minutes.
Cool the pretzels and then they’re ready to serve! Or, store them in an airtight container if you’re making them ahead.
This recipe makes enough for 16 servings, but, trust me, they won’t last long – once people try them, they’ll keep coming back for more!
I’ve served them so many times and they always get rave reviews so I make copies of the recipe to hand-out because people always ask for it!

Brittany says
My husband loves all things ranch. Ranch on veggies, ranch crackers, and now ranch pretzels!
Courtney says
Me too!! These are such a great snack!
Cynthia Rusincovitch says
I made your ranch pretzels for a get together with friends this past weekend. You always know it is a hit when people are chatting gathered around the bowl. LOL
Courtney says
They are definitely hard to stop eating! Thank you for trying this recipe.
Wendy says
I couldn’t wait to try this out, so I ran out to the store to get what I didn’t have. Then I had to make them right away. They sounded so good.I should of waited tho my girlfriend brought over her teenager…..well you can see where this is going lol
Julie Evink says
I’m hoping the rest of this story is that they disappeared quickly!!
Sandy says
Delish!!
Julie Evink says
Wonderful to hear Sandy! Thanks for commenting and rating the recipe!
Dona says
What is jelly roll pan?
Julie says
You can use any large sheet pan with edges to bake these.
Brocook says
My family loves this recipe. Gives a great boost to the salty flavor of a pretzel. We’ve been using this recipe for years now.
Julie says
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoy it!
Gary says
Could not find ‘popping’ oil. Is corn oil good. Also 1 cup seems like a lot ?
Julie says
Yes corn oil should be fine. You are using 2 bags of pretzels so it does take quite a bit of oil to coat them enough to season them. You can try it with less if you’d like.
Angela says
I just wanted to let you know you said to bake these on jelly roll “PANTS.” I got a little giggle out of it. I had to read it twice to make sure I read it right the first time. 🙂
I have to try the recipe. I’ve had oyster crackers with ranch mix and oil and they are majorly addictive. I love pretzels so I imagine these will be even better than the crackers.
Julie says
LOL thanks for letting me know, Angela! These are fantastic, you’ll definitely have to try them!
Katherine says
What can you use in place of popcorn oil (I don’t think it’s available in Canada)? Thank you.
Julie Evink says
I haven’t tested it but I think regular canola oil or vegetable oil would work it just wouldn’t have the buttery taste to it!
Ashley says
My family love this recipe! So easy and perfect for snacking.
Julie Evink says
Once I start munching on these I can’t stop! So good!
Shadi Hasanzadenemati says
• Love how simple and easy this recipe is! I’ll be making it again!
Julie Evink says
Me too! Perfect for parties!
Cressy says
These are just a wonderful little snack. I ended up using fiesta ranch mix because that is what I ended up having in my pantry and it was too late to go to the store. The fiesta ranch gave them a little extra kick. I had my kids try them when I pulled them out of the oven and they stood there and ate half of the batch.
Julie Evink says
Ooooo I want to try that now!
Xhaka says
I think that this recipe is too great and i will try it soon.
lulu says
Making this now, is the ranch powder supposed to clump up in the oil? Cause mine did…
Julie Evink says
Mine did not, it’s not going to a problem other than the fact that there might be more seasoning on some bites than others.
lulu says
Okay thanks. For some reason all the seasoning just clumped up into little balls :/
