  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pour a full (5-ounce) bag of pretzels into your food processor or blender. Process until you have a coarse flour.
  • Transfer the ground pretzels to a mixing bowl along with the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. Stir everything together until well-combined.
