If you haven’t bought a bottle of everything bagel spice I urge you to try it. It has so much flavor and the uses are endless and great for low carb dieting. You can find it at Aldi and Trader Joes but if you want to make your own just mix equal parts of sea salt, dried minced onion, dried minced garlic, sesame seeds and poppy seeds.

Recipe Tips & Notes

You can also use any nut you please but pecans taste the most like pretzels in my opinion and are one of the lowest in carbs.
Make sure to stir the nuts while toasting so they don’t burn.
Use more or less of the everything bagel spice to your liking.
Let them cool completely before eating. They will get more crunchy as they cool.
Store in an air tight container.
