How to Make Dragon Breath Pretzels

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  2. (Optional) Add 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper and/or 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese to the oil mixture and whisk to combine.
  3. Place 16 ounces of pretzel twists (or 16 ounces of plain oyster crackers) in a large gallon-sized ziplock bag.
  4. Pour the oil mixture over the pretzels/crackers. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until pretzels/crackers are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the coated pretzels/crackers in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even browning. (For oyster crackers, bake at 275°F (135°C) for 15-20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes.)
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack or brown paper bag to prevent sticking.
  8. Store cooled pretzels/crackers in an airtight container. Enjoy your dangerously addictive Dragon Breath Pretzels!
