13Ouncebox frozen soft pretzels(any brand or flavor)
Dipping sauceoptional
Additional toppingsoptional
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F
While the air fryer is preheating, wet the tops of the pretzel bites with water or melted butter (you can use a pastry brush or just your finger). Then, sprinkle the sea salt on. You can skip this step if you don’t want to salt your pretzels or if they have a topping already
Place the frozen pretzel bites in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, allowing air space between each one for even heating
Cook on the air fry setting for 5-6 minutes at 350°F until pretzels are warmed through
If additional time is needed, add in 1-2 minute increments to prevent overbrowning
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces (or plain is delicious as well)!

Notes
Any brand of frozen soft pretzel bites work just fine! I have SuperPretzel pizza stuffed here, but plain and cheese filled frozen soft pretzel bites are great too. I’ve also used Appetito’s (Aldi), Auntie Anne’s, Pretzilla, and Craft House Creations brands with equal success
Dipping sauce is optional (especially if you’ve gotten stuffed pretzel bites). If you want to add a sauce though, mustard, nacho cheese, or beer cheese are my favorites!
Most frozen soft pretzel bites come with sea salt for topping them, though the pizza stuffed SuperPretzel bites have cheese on them instead of salt! You could also swap salt out for cinnamon and sugar, or top with shredded cheese, pepperoni, or jalapenos instead
There’s no need to apply any oil for cooking with frozen pretzel bites
If you are using stuffed pretzels without salt, then you can shake the basket once during cooking to promote even heating. If you’ve applied salt, don’t flip or shake the pretzel bites or you’ll lose your salt
You can also apply butter and the salt after cooking if you prefer
My Super Pretzel frozen pretzel bites were perfect after 6 minutes in a Ninja Dual Zone air fryer. They are about 1-1.5” in size. Other sizes of pretzels and other air fryers may take slightly different amounts of time
Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand of ingredients, any toppings or sauces, and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
