To the right of the basket is a small metal bowl filled with creamy yellow mustard, placed on a white marbled surface. Part of a wooden bowl with salt is also visible at the bottom right corner.

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen soft pretzels
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Pretzel salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brush each frozen pretzel lightly with water and sprinkle generously with pretzel salt.
  2. Step 2: Place the pretzels in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 320°F for 3 to 5 minutes, checking for doneness and desired browning.
  3. Step 3: Once golden and soft, carefully remove the pretzels from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dip.

Tips & Variations

  • Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model and how soft or crispy you prefer your pretzels.
  • Try using garlic butter or melted cheese as a flavorful alternative topping instead of pretzel salt.
  • Serve with mustard, cheese sauce, or cinnamon sugar for different dipping options.

Storage

Store any leftover pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Reheat in the air fryer at 320°F for 2-3 minutes to regain freshness and warmth.
