You can sit down and eat pretzel bites out of the bag and think, “Hey, these are pretty good”. Or with just a few more ingredients, you can sit down with a bowl of these Ranch sourdough pretzel bites and know that you’ve just had something truly incredible. You’ll be saying “Hey, these are mighty darned good!” instead. Each bite has a hint of buttery goodness. And a nice hint of herby Ranch dressing. And there’s a really awesome citrusy pepper flavor that’s just barely there, but oh does it make a difference. It’s that little ‘something’ you detect and just know it’s make helps make these great treats so good!
Popcorn Oil Adds Great Flavor
I often make appetizers like these Ranch sourdough pretzel bites using just oil, like vegetable or canola. Or, I use melted butter. I recently came across the idea of using popcorn oil, which of course combines both oil and butter. The flavor is more fantastic, and it doesn’t get any easier than just measuring the oil out of a bottle. I’ll definitely make all my snacks this way from here on. No butter melting required. It’s just that easy!

I couldn’t find my lemon pepper seasoning (I am reminded that someday, maybe, I’ll arrange the spices in my pantry in alphabetical or at least some sensible order). I substituted lime pepper seasoning I have to say it was fantastic. The citrus flavor in either case isn’t going to scream out at it, it just adds that special something.
