pretzel pieces
olive oil or melted butter

garlic powder
onion powder
salt

Directions

I start by preheating the oven and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, I whisk together the olive oil or melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until smooth.

I place the pretzel pieces in a large bowl and pour the honey mustard mixture over them. I toss everything well so the pretzels are evenly coated. I spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake, stirring once halfway through, until they’re crisp and lightly golden.

I let the pretzel pieces cool completely so they crisp up even more before serving.

Variations

I sometimes add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika when I want a little heat. For extra tang, I increase the Dijon mustard slightly. I also like mixing in a bit of dried dill for a different flavor twist.

Storage/reheating

I store the cooled pretzel pieces in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If they lose some crunch, I refresh them in the oven for a few minutes until crisp again. Honey Mustard Pretzel Pieces

FAQs

Can I use pretzel twists instead of pretzel pieces?

I can use pretzel twists, but I usually break them into bite-sized pieces so they coat evenly.

Are these pretzel pieces very sweet?

I find they’re more tangy than sweet, with the honey just balancing out the mustard flavor.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

I can make them in an air fryer in small batches, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.

What mustard works best for this recipe?

I like using a mix of Dijon and yellow mustard for balance, but I adjust based on what I have.

Can I double this recipe?

I double it often, but I use two baking sheets so the pretzels don’t overcrowd and stay crispy.

Conclusion

These honey mustard pretzel pieces are one of my favorite homemade snacks because they’re simple, flavorful, and incredibly crunchy. I enjoy how easy they are to customize, and they always disappear quickly whenever I make them.
