Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill weed, and salt. Whisk until all the spices are fully incorporated into the oil.
Add the mini pretzels to the bowl and toss them gently with a spatula or your hands to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Spread the coated pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are not overlapping too much.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to allow even baking and prevent burning.
Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy your spicy Cayenne Pretzels as a delicious snack!
