Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 325° Fahrenheit. If desired, brush frozen pretzels lightly with water then sprinkle coarse salt over.
Place pretzels in air fryer basket, being careful not to overlap pretzels or overcrowd basket. Place basket in preheated air fryer and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until desired doneness is achieved.
Remove pretzels from air basket. Serve warm with cheese sauce or mustard.
Recipe Notes
Water: Use just enough to help the salt stick, but not so much that you make the pretzels soggy. You could also use melted butter instead of water.
For sweet soft pretzels, use melted butter instead of water and sprinkle a mix of brown sugar and cinnamon on top of the pretzels. I like to do a combo of brown sugar + cinnamon along with the coarse salt, for a sweet-and-salty pretzel.
For ranch soft pretzels, use melted butter or water, and lightly sprinkle powdered ranch mix over the tops of the pretzels.
