Spicy Pretzels

Kick canola oil to the curb and make your own seasoned pretzels with avocado oil and olive oil. Nutritional yeast adds a “cheesy” flavor and is rich in B vitamins, essential to healthy skin.

Ingredients

2 large bags Original Pretzel Crisps, preferably Organic
1-ounce package Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Salad Dressing Mix
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
2/3 cup Avocado Oil Blend, such as California Olive Ranch*
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, such as Bragg, optional

Instructions

In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk oil, dressing mix and red pepper flakes until blended. Place pretzels in a large plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.

Pour dressing mix over pretzels, tossing as you pour. Close and flip a few times. If adding nutritional yeast, spread pretzels over a sheet pan and sprinkle to coat. Return to container, attach lid and gently turn to combine.

Let sit for 12 hours or overnight, gently flipping container ever so often.

*If you can’t find the blend, mix your own with 1/3 cup avocado oil and 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil.
