In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients except pretzels.
Mix well and set aside.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Mix pretzels a few times while waiting for the oven to preheat.
Once the oven is preheated, pour into a baking pan and spread into an even layer. Set the bowl aside without washing the bowl.
Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and stir, making sure to mix back in any oil or spices on the bottom of the pan.
Bake for another 15 minutes.
Pour pretzels back into original mixing bowl and stir well to pick up any spices or oil left in the bowl.
Set aside to cool.
Once pretzels are completely cooled, place into an airtight container.
Notes
If you like "toastier" pretzels, just allow them longer time in the oven. Watch closely though, they can go from toasty to burnt in a matter of minutes.
You can butter for the oil. We use oil because it is more economical when making for parties and gifts.
