# Expert Tips:
01 -
- That perfect crunch when they first come out of the oven makes them impossible to stop eating
- The tangy dill punch balanced with creamy ranch flavor is something you never knew you needed
02 -
- The low oven temperature is crucial because high heat will burn the seasonings before the pretzels get crispy
- Stirring every 15 minutes might seem fussy, but it prevents soggy spots and ensures even crunchiness
03 -
- Use a really large bowl when tossing the pretzels so you do not lose any coating to the sides
- Let the coating mixture sit for five minutes before tossing the pretzels so the dried herbs hydrate slightly
