In a large saucepan, dip the pretzels in simmering water to which you have added baking soda. As soon as the pretzels rise to the surface, take them gently and place them on parchment paper, oiled, placed on a sheet.

Sprinkle your Pretzels with coarse salt and bake them for about 20 minutes, until the salted pretzels are golden.

Let your salted pretzels cool to room temperature and enjoy them as an aperitif, for example.
Tips
Variation: you can also sprinkle them with all kinds of seeds such as cumin seeds, sesame seeds too, and brown them in water (without immersing them in bicarbonated water).
