Toss whole unbroken hard pretzel rods in the sheet pan and 4 additional ingredients to get a dish so delicious your friends will be begging for more!

When late-summer fruit is at its sweetest, a simple baked dessert can feel especially rewarding. This 5-ingredient sheet pan dessert pairs juicy seasonal fruit with the salty crunch of whole hard pretzel rods for an easy sweet-and-salty finish that lands somewhere between a rustic crisp and a snackable dessert bake. It is the kind of low-effort recipe that works well for casual gatherings, potlucks, or those evenings when you want something warm and homemade without pulling out a long list of ingredients.

Serve this dessert warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, lightly sweetened whipped cream, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt if you prefer a tangy contrast. It also pairs nicely with iced tea, coffee, or sparkling wine for an end-of-summer dinner, and if you are setting out a dessert table, fresh berries on the side help brighten the richer buttery topping.
