Spicy Pretzel Nuggets

There is nothing fragile and flimsy about what I am about to share with you, so prepare yourself.

Forget everything you know about chips and pretzels and leave the pre-made seasoning packets off your grocery shopping lists because you won’t need them. 

Four pantry staples are all you need to make a spicy, savory, and smoky sauce that makes these Sriracha Black Pepper Pretzel Nuggets out of this world!

Pretzels are on a very short list of perfect snack foods. Chips, pretzels, crackers, popcorn, pickles, and nuts, yes I said pickles, are all perfect in their natural, plain state. 

But sometimes they need a kick. The title has the words Sriracha and Black Pepper in it for foodness sake.

Both of these ingredients have CRAZY STRONG flavors and that’s why I chose a pretzel with a little meat on its bones.

Ingredients Needed

Pretzels – I like to use pretzel nuggets as they have more pretzel to balance out the spice.

Sriracha – Substitute hot sauce if needed.

Worcestershire sauce – Substitute Soy sauce or coconut aminos.

Olive oil – Use olive oil or a neutral oil like vegetable oil or canola oil.

Black pepper – Freshly cracked black pepper is best.

How to Make Spicy Pretzels

First: Preheat the oven to 200F. Mix the seasoning sauce in a bowl.

Second: Place pretzels in a large bowl. Pour the sauce mixture over the pretzels nuggets and toss to coat.

Third: Spread them evenly on a baking sheet pan (in a single layer) and bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes until crispy!

For the full recipe and detailed instructions, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

How long do they last?

The seasoned pretzels will last up to 3 weeks if you keep them in an air tight container at room temperature.

How to Store

Keep them in an air tight container at room temperature. I don’t recommend refrigerating or freezing the pretzels as the moisture will make them soggy and stale.
