Equipment

Baking sheet

Ingredients

3 large soft pretzel one or two days old
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
freshly ground black pepper
fine sea salt optional and to taste, Note

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 360°F/ 180°C. Line the baking sheet with baking paper.
Cut the pretzels into regular slices, about as thick as a finger. Cutting regular pieces is very important; the actual size of the pretzel chips is not that important. You can cut them thinner or thicker, depending on your taste; just make sure that they are all equally thin or equally thick. Otherwise, the thinner pieces will be baked before the thicker ones are done, and they will get too brown and burn around the edges.
3 large soft pretzel
Season pretzels: Place the pretzel pieces into a bowl. Mix together the oil and the spices. Pour the mixture over the pretzel chips and rub well.
3 tablespoons olive oil + 1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder + freshly ground black pepper + fine sea salt
Bake leftover pretzel chips: Place the chips onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on their thickness. Start checking after 10 minutes. They should be completely crisp and golden brown.

Notes

Salt: If the pretzels are sprinkled with flaky salt, you can leave the salt out of the recipe. Otherwise, add one good pinch of salt to the rub mixture.
